On April 11, 2024 in the Moscow Region town of Noginsk, a temple of the OCU in honor of the Holy Trinity was demolished, said the cleric of the OCU Svyatoslav Skorokhod.
According to him, "in Ukraine there have always been tens of thousands of temples of the Moscow patriarchate, while in Russia only a single temple of the OCU to date. It was located in Noginsk in the Moscow region. In 2016, the Noginsk district court ruled: to demolisht the temple because it allegedly interfered with the peace of the local population".
As the UOJ wrote, on April 6, 2023, the authorities of Lviv, with the help of an excavator, demolished the temple of the UOC in honor of St. Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir. Lviv city Council gave the OCU the site where the Vladimir temple was demolished. It will also be reminded that the door of the Kazan church of the UOC in Ladyzhyn was also bulldozed by OCU raiders.
