The MP of Ukraine, member of the profile committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on law enforcement Artem Dmytruk sent deputy appeals to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko regarding the systemic seizure of churches of the UOC in Khmelnytsky.
The people's deputy announced this in his telegram channel.
In his appeals, Artem Dmitruk speaks about the raider seizures of the temple in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, the St. George Church and the spiritual center in Khmelnytsky city.
As part of the appeal, the deputy sent a request to the Minister of Internal Affairs to consider the information provided, take measures to verify it and, if there are grounds, eliminate violations of the current legislation, provide a proper legal assessment of the actions of all persons involved in this, and resolve the issue of bringing the perpetrators to statutory liability.
