On August 15, 2023, a certain Yuriy Kaminskiy posted a publication on an unofficial Facebook page of the Patrol Police of Ivano-Frankivsk, calling for the murder of priests and believers of the UOC.

He gave the address in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, at which the worship services of the UOC are held, and called on the citizens to murder.

“Frankivsk residents know all of you; you will run away from our city so fast that the ground under you will burn! And this is not the worst option for you! Alternately, you can repeat the fate of the russian soldiers-invaders and return to russia, from where you came to us, in a garbage bag! As they say, like recognizes like!”

Later, Kaminskiy closed his profile and then deleted his post. However, there is a screenshot.

Recall that a day after this publication, the UOC church in Horodenka burned down. The Ivano-Frankivsk diocese told the UOJ that all the facts point to arson.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that in Horodenka, the police disrupted the worship of the UOC community in a private house.
