A video was published online featuring Tymofii, a young man from Bilohorodka, who, on June 25, against the backdrop of the raider seizure of St. Michael's Church, tells why he stopped going to the OCU and became a sacristan in the UOC. The video was posted on his telegram channel by KDAiS student Mykhailo Pratsiuk.
"For five months, I attended the OCU, but I reevaluated everything. It's all evident here – some people pray, while others shout 'shame' and 'death to enemies' in front of the crosses. My father is on the frontlines, and I'm a sexton in the Bilohorodka temple. While he's fighting, the supporters of the OCU cut off the locks of our church. I feel sorry for these people, it's sad. I truly hope that one day they will come to God, repent, and everything will be fine for them," Tymofii shared.
Now the community of the seized St. Michael's Church prays in the St. Nicholas Church of Bilohorodka, which is under construction.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that OCU activists seized the temple of the UOC in Bilohorodka.
