Former ATO soldier threatens to grab UOC church in Kropyvnytskyi
Kukulenko warned that if the deputies did not allocate land for the construction of the UOC-KP church, his organization would grab a church of one of the religious communities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
"How long will the process of granting land for the construction of a church of the UOC-KP last? Can’t we have land in the city? If you procrastinate on this issue, we'll figure out which of the already built churches of the Moscow Patriarchate (Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Ed.) will go to the Kyiv Patriarchate," the military said.
