In the Transfiguration Cathedral of the UOC in Odesa, there may be a sudden uncontrollable collapse of the wall, reports the Telegram channel of the Odesa City Council.

The City Council also said that the dismantling of the emergency-dangerous section of the wall should begin as soon as possible.

"We need the help of clergymen to work with parishioners. People are coming with an open heart, but we need to realise that there are emergency sections that can pose a threat. Therefore, we will work together, following all procedures," said the mayor of Odesa Gennady Trukhanov.
