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.
