On October 2, 2023, the Khmelnytsky City District Court extended until November 30 a preventive measure – personal commitment – for UOC subdeacon Ihor Slobodian, who is accused of “beating” a provocateur in the Intercession Cathedral. This was reported by vsim.ua.
The “victim” Artur Ananyev did not appear at the court hearing; his lawyer came instead. According to the latter, Ananyev is now actually serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which the lawyer learned about only on the eve of the trial.
The witnesses, who were supposed to be heard in court, did not show up either. The judge decided to postpone the hearing to November 2.
As the UOJ reported, on April 2, 2023, Artur Ananyev, dressed in military uniform, staged a provocation in the Khmelniysky Intercession Cathedral, which led to the seizure of the shrine by supporters of the OCU.
Many media reported the incident in the cathedral as a “beating of a military man,” but it turned out that at that time Ananyev had nothing to do with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
