On May 28, 2025, parishioners of the St. Paraskeva Church of the UOC in the village of Ust-Putyla in Bukovyna were forced to seek protection from the police due to threats from OCU raiders, reports the Telegram channel «Dozor».
Representatives of the OCU, who previously made an unsuccessful attempt to seize the church, decided to resort to a new strategy.
"One of the intruders in the church claimed that he was allegedly beaten with crowbars by UOC parishioners. This lie is actively spread by OCU activists," write the journalists.
According to their information, the raider himself used a crowbar in the House of God. The believers pushed him out of the church he was trying to seize.
After this, the intruder went to the hospital, but there they stated that he had no injuries. Then he went to the city and turned to acquaintances in a private clinic, where they made all the "necessary papers" for him.
"Now OCU militants and raiders, waving falsified conclusions, are calling to gather and storm the shrine again," warns «Dozor».
As reported by the UOJ, in Ust-Putyla, it was shown how the police used force against UOC parishioners.
