On 21 November 2023, representatives of the OCU, who seized St Michael’s Church of the UOC, did not come to the temple to perform a "liturgy" there.
The raiders who on the night of 20 November took away the temple in Borodianka, Kyiv region, from the believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church did not "serve" in it on the day of the patron saint’s day, reports the Telegram channel "Dozor on Kozak1".
The video published by journalists shows that the door of the temple is closed and sealed, and parishioners of St Michael’s Church have to pray in a small room located on the territory of the temple complex.
As earlier reported, supporters of the OCU raided St Michael’s Church of the UOC in Borodianka at night.
