In the village of Mytyntsi in the Khmelnytskyi district, representatives of the OCU are once again attempting to forcibly evict the family of UOC Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk from his home. This was reported on October 7 by the press service of the Khmelnytskyi Eparchy.

"Right now, representatives of the OCU are attempting to forcibly evict Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk and his four minor children from their home in the village of Mytyntsi, Krasyliv region. We ask for prayers for the priest and his family," the statement reads.

As reported by UOJ, Father Oleh Tsaruk is responsible for the care of four young children, one of whom sustained serious injuries in an accident and requires constant care. However, following the illegal takeover of the St. Nicholas Church in Mytyntsi, the UOC parish rector, who has lived there for a long time, conducted major repairs on the home, and is raising four children, is now being evicted from his residence. Archpriest Oleh Tsaruk has no other place to live. Previously, representatives of the OCU threatened the priest's family and attempted to evict them from their home without any legal grounds.
