On March 28, 2023, several hundred aggressive radicals who came to the Ivano-Frankivsk Cathedral of the UOC used tear gas against believers.
A live broadcast on the Facebook page of the Ivano-Frankivsk diocese featured the storm assaulters spraying tear gas in an attempt to enter the temple. Also, according to available information, gas was used inside the temple.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that a crowd came to “expel” believers from the UOC Cathedral in Ivano-Frankivsk.
