In Kaniv, following a lawsuit by the Smila District Prosecutor's Office, the state act granting the Kyiv Metropolis of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) permanent land use rights for the Assumption Cathedral has been annulled. This was reported by the press service of the Cherkasy Regional Prosecutor's Office on February 28, 2025.

"The Prosecutor's Office is taking measures to establish a new land plot designated for historical and cultural purposes," the statement reads.
