UOC parishioners report that there are few OCU activists near the church.

Since the morning of September 7, the seizure of the UOC Intercession Church in Boyarka has been ongoing. Parishioners of the church community recorded a video showing law enforcement officers actively assisting OCU supporters. They captured footage of police handing over crowbars to break the church doors, which caused outrage among the parishioners.

The KozakTv1 Telegram channel reports that there are only a few OCU representatives near the church – some activists and clerics from Dumenko's structure. However, the main force supporting them is the local Territorial Community Volunteer Formation (DFTG).

The church raiders have barricaded themselves inside the church, preventing UOC parishioners from entering. A prayer service is ongoing around the church, while the perimeter remains under the control of people in camouflage.

As previously reported by the UOJ, church raiders in Boyarka are seizing the UOC church.
