On August 22, in the village of Pokrovskoye of the Bakhmut district, Donetsk region, representatives of Captain Volovik OTG and the 2nd OTG DUK "Right Sector", together with several members of the local community of the Kiev Patriarchate, opposed the decision of the local authorities to allocate land for the construction of the temple of the UOC, according to the website of right-wing radicals.

In addition, the radicals demanded that the mayor Ruslan Trebushkin allocate land for the construction of the church of the UOC-KP.

"During the session of the town council held on August 22, activists managed to press this important issue and forced the Pokrovskoye town council to allocate the desired land for the construction of the temple of the UOC-KP," the report said.
