Hostile villagers in the village of Mytyntsi, Khmelnytskyi region, chained and locked the well on the property of UOC Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk, where he lives with his wife and four underage children, and left a sign on it reading "CHLOR." This was reported by the Telegram channel of the Khmelnytskyi Eparchy.
It is reported that as a result, the large family has been left without water. Additionally, they have been without electricity for 10 days, which was cut off on September 5.
The diocese also noted that on this day, September 15, the priest was celebrating his 40th birthday.
"Let this 'peculiar greeting' be on the conscience of those who contributed to it. As Orthodox Christians, we in no way judge them, leaving their actions to the judgment of God! At the same time, the entire Khmelnytskyi Eparchy sincerely congratulates Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk on his 40th birthday," the statement said.
As previously reported by the UOJ, representatives of the OCU, who seized the Orthodox parish's church a year ago, are trying to evict the family of UOC priest Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk from their home in Mytyntsi.
