UOC hierarch on conflict in Ivano-Frankivsk: "Mute rather than dialogue police"
On December 15, 2022, Bishop Nikita spoke in detail about the conflict that occurred during his first service at the UOC Cathedral in Ivano-Frankivsk.
During a press conference at the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Bishop Nikita said that "a group of people in balaclavas entered the cathedral and tried to disrupt the service".
"We appealed to the police to restore order. But it wasn't the dialogue police, it was the 'mute police'. When I approached everyone with the question of which of them was the elder, they only looked away," the Ivano-Frankivsk bishop said.
According to him, "our parishioners, most of them women, had to push the hooligans out themselves; in return, they were sprayed with tear gas in the face."
Vladyka believes that "such police behaviour is a step towards destroying the Ivano-Frankivsk Eparchy, and such a command is given from above, from the capital".
"Obviously, someone has hatched a plan to make the first 'communist' region in Ukraine without the Church," the UOC hierarch resumed.
As reported, thugs staged a fight at a bishop's meeting at the Ivano-Frankivsk Cathedral of the UOC.
