On August 29, 2019, the Acting Head of the Volyn Regional State Administration Alexander Kirichuk signed an order to re-register 48 communities of the UOC-KP to the OCU, reports the “Volynska Pravda” online edition.

The re-registration affected the religious communities of the Kiev Patriarchate in a number of villages of Lokachi, Vladimir-Volynsky, Ivanichi, Turiysk, Liuboml’ and Shatsk districts, as well as in the urban villages of Shatsk and Lokachi, in the towns of Vladimir-Volynsky, Novovolynsk and Liuboml’.

We recall that earlier the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine stated that it would fine the head of the UOC-KP Filaret Denisenko if he demanded to block the re-registration of a number of religious objects of the Kiev Patriarchate to the OCU.
