Archpriest Andrii Pinchuk has been taken out of the staff of the Dnepropetrovsk Eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church at his request, reports the Telegram channel "Veselyi Pip" (“Joyful Priest”).

A community meeting, which agreed on the candidacy of a new priest, was held at St. Michael’s Church of the village of Voloske, where Pinchuk had served as a rector.

"According to rumours, the priest was ordained specifically for the church community of the village of Voloske," the report said.

As reported, in January 2024, Fr. Andrii Pinchuk had an 8-month ban from the priesthood lifted.
