Since the morning, UOC believers of Odesa have been cleaning up the consequences of the missile strike on the Transfiguration Cathedral.

Parishioners of the Transfiguration Cathedral of the UOC in Odesa, which was hit by a missile strike at night, went out to clear the rubble. A video of the work was published by the Odessa Eparchy.

The footage shows that men, women and even children are working in the temple: taking out of the cathedral boards and stones. Some people are working with brushes, raking away construction debris.

"Absolutely fearless. People don't want to be afraid that something might fall on their heads. They are eager to put their cathedral in order by the evening," comments the video archdeacon of the Odessa Eparchy Andrei Palchuk.

As reported, the Transfiguration Cathedral of Odesa was destroyed as a result of a missile attack.
