Radicals and schismatics attempting to disrupt the construction of UOC temple in Sumy (VIDEO)

On September 12, about 20 representatives of the Kyiv Patriarchate and the "Right Sector" gathered to obstruct the laying of the capsule and consecration of the site for the construction of the future church of the UOC in Sumy. As reported by the UOJ in the Sumy eparchy, "the assembled were going to disrupt what was not planned."

The schismatics and radicals claimed that they would not allow the construction of the "Moscow church" in Sumy. The officials of the Sumy eparchy of the UOC believe that such activists just wanted to be written about in the media.

The canonical Church has permits for the construction of the UOC temple at the regional hospital in Sumy.
