Brovary authorities ban UOC "due to martial law"
In Brovary, according to the decision of the deputies of the city council, during martial law the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church have been banned. This was announced by the mayor of the city Igor Sapozhko on his page on Facebook.
"This means that security will be established for the properties of church communities and a special regime of their work will be introduced," Sapozhko said.
The mayor did not specify how exactly the churches should operate if the authorities have banned the UOC's activities.
As earlier reported, the Konotop mayor banned the UOC in the city because of a "threat to national security".
