On September 9, 2023, in the city of Radomyshl, OCU raiders committed illegal actions against the UOC believers and tried to seize the St. Nicholas Church of the UOC. Video of the raiding from one of the activists who came to take away the shrine was published by the channel “Dozor on “Pershyi Kozatskyi””.

The footage shows how the OCU activists, together with their “rector” Vasyl Kolishchak, burst into the UOC temple and organized their own parallel service during the service of the UOC believers.

The author of the video discussed the creation of a provocation with her accomplices. They considered the possibility of creating a crowd in the temple or even attacking a policeman in order to provoke the law enforcers to take tougher actions.

In other excerpts of the video it is recorded how a OCU akivista argues with a parishioner of the temple, threatens bloodshed and asks “are they ready to die now”.

Under the shouts of “down with the Moscow priest”, “shame” and singing the Ukrainian anthem, the raiders literally pushed out the rector and parishioners of the temple.

At the end the temple was sealed.
