On March 31, 2025, representatives of the State Enforcement Service visited the Dormition Cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the city of Volodymyr and officially warned the Volodymyr-Volynskyi Eparchy of the need to vacate the premises. This was reported by Bug.

According to the publication, the diocese has already been fined for failing to comply with the order to leave the cathedral.
