The "priest" of the OCU, Roman Hryshchuk, on his Facebook page, called on Bukovyna to "cleanse" itself of the UOC, as the authorities in Lviv region have done.
"Today is a historic day for Lviv region – the region has been cleansed of the Moscow Patriarchate," Hryshchuk quoted Maksym Kozytskyi, the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration, who had stated the day before that the Lviv region became the first in Ukraine where there are no longer any registered UOC religious communities.
In the comments, "priest" Vasyl Mykhailishyn pointed out to Hryshchuk that UOC communities still exist in the Lviv region, although they are no longer registered. Hryshchuk was very upset by this information and called for the situation to be rectified.
"That's a pity, if true! Get to work there! In any case, you remain an unreachable beacon for us for now!" Hryshchuk wrote, complaining that in Bukovyna and Transcarpathia the authorities are not supporting the destruction of the UOC as actively as in the Lviv region.
As reported, the head of the Lviv RMA stated that there are no longer any UOC communities in the Lviv region.
