OCU activist admits breaking into UOC church in Sloviansk
Oleksandr Onyshchenko said that the OCU held its first "service" at the Seraphim Church, which had previously been broken into by forcing the locks and doors.
OCU activist and initiator of the transfer of UOC communities in Sloviansk Oleksandr Onyshchenko said in a video that the first "service" had been held at the UOC’s Seraphim Church in Cherezkivka, reports the "Dozor" Telegram channel.
In the recording, filmed from the church's bell tower, which Onyshchenko calls "recently liberated from the Muscovites," he states that the shrine now belongs to the OCU.
Onyshchenko claims that weapons were allegedly stored in the church’s basement and that “Moscow terrorists” used to go there for confession and Communion. Naturally, he provides no evidence to support these claims in the video.
"Dozor" emphasizes that with this statement the activist actually took responsibility for breaking into the shrine the day before.
As the UOJ reported, unknown persons broke down the doors in two UOC churches in Sloviansk. Law enforcement opened a case on unlawful entry.
