A criminal proceeding is open upon the fact on the grounds of Part 1 Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (intentional trivial injury).

The UAOC priests insist on their being the aggrieved party. Herewith they continue their regular life, while father Victor is on a drip in hospital.

UOC parishioners in Katerinopol have written several hundred letters to the administration chief and the prosecutor asking them “to secure them from the improper behavior of UAOC representatives.” The letters, signed by over 200 persons, are going to be handed in on 30 January at 9 a.m.
