On May 7, 2023, in the village of Khoroshev, Zhytomyr region, OCU activists seized the St. Michael’s Church of the UOC. The video of the capture was posted on the Facebook page of Horoshiv Online.
Supporters of the OCU held a vote among the villagers near the House of Culture, then about 700 people went in a crowd to the temple and cut off part of the fence of the temple with a grinder, then the main doors of the church, then the inner ones. All this was accompanied by cries of “death to the enemies” and “get rid of the Moscow priest.”
