UOC activities banned in Horodok, Lviv region

On February 28, 2022, the head of the Horodok City Council in the Lviv region, Volodymyr Remeniak, published an official order on his Facebook page “On the prohibition of the activities of the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate”.

In it, the priests and parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are accused of anti-state and anti-Ukrainian activities, of creating "artificial confrontation between certain groups of the Ukrainian people" and of "splitting Ukrainian society on the religious ground". Therefore, Volodymyr Remeniak, by his ruling, banned the activities of the UOC as "representing a threat to the national security of Ukraine".

The text says that the decision to ban the UOC was made by the authorities after the appeal of representatives of the UGCC from the village of Rechychany.

We recall that with the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, a lot of fakes appeared on the Web that the UOC allegedly hides weapons in churches. All these denunciations are consistently checked and refuted by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

As reported, the Uniates seized a temple of the UOC near Ivano-Frankivsk.
