At the regular twenty-eighth session of the Vyzhnytsia City Council of the eighth convocation, the deputies voted to ban the activities of the UOC on the territory of the community. Bookinfo reports.

Mayor of Vyzhnytsia Oleksiy Chepil said that the city council received an appeal from residents of the village of Milievo, in which they ask “to immediately ban the activities of religious organizations of the UOC-MP on the territory of the headman in connection with their subordination to the aggressor country.”

Under this appeal, according to the chairman, more than 1,200 residents of the headman signed.

The headman of the village of Milievo Vladimir Gafiuk admitted that believers of both the OCU and the UOC are fighting at the front, and “both of them provide volunteer assistance to the front.”

In the end, the decision was made, although, as Deputy Roman Yerema noted, “more political than legal.”
