Zinoviy Andriiovych, the Mayor of Nadvirna in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, stated that those who rent out premises to the UOC would face the punishment of property confiscation. This was reported by report.if.ua.
According to the official, the local UOC community held religious services in a rented space provided by local residents. However, with the start of the war, parishioners are seeking a new building.
"Residents were renting out their own homes. I think such things are unacceptable. God forbid, if an enemy church is established in private premises," said Zinoviy Andriiovych.
As previously reported by the UOJ, authorities in Zakarpattia demanded a ban on the UOC.
