On August 10, at about 18:00, supporters of the OCU cut off the locks and broke into the territory of the UOC church in the village of Zabolotye, Rivne region, which was sealed after the attack by the schismatics three months ago, reports the "1Kozak" channel.

Since May 10, the church has been closed and sealed. A policeman is on duty near the temple, keeping order. The offenders waited until he was absent for a few minutes, cut off the locks on the fence and entered the territory of the temple.

They explained their actions by the desire to "mow the grass" in the churchyard. They were "allowed" to break into the territory of the temple by the deputy of the Varash OTG (joint territorial community) from the Poroshenko party "European Solidarity" Alexander Derevianchuk. This politician previously took part in the storming of the temple and other provocations against the UOC.

OCU supporters refused to leave the churchyard until the parishioners of the UOC and a police squad arrived. The believers wrote a statement on the fact of the offence.

As reported, the OCU supporters trying to seize the temple in Zabolotye are five times fewer than the UOC members.
