On 8 February 2024, a group of people in military uniform, with the help of police officers, seized Sts. Peter and Paul’s Church.
A video posted on Facebook by Snezhana Tsybuliak shows several dozen young people dressed in black military uniforms, as well as several people in khaki-coloured uniforms, waving flags on the steps of the temple.
At the same time, representatives of law enforcement agencies armed with automatic rifles are pushing the believers who came to defend the temple away from the entrance.
On 4 July 2023, in Lenkivtsi hundreds of believers defended Sts. Peter and Paul’s Church of the UOC.
On 19 November 2023, 74 residents of the village of Lenkivtsi in the Chernivtsi region held a meeting in the local House of Culture and voted to transfer Sts. Peter and Paul’s Church of the UOC to the OCU against the will of the community members and the rector of the church, Archpriest Mykola Rus.
