In Khmelnytsky, the radicals of the OCU were given the keys to the Holy Intercession Cathedral of the UOC, reports the UOJ.

There is no contact with the diocese. Under what circumstances the keys were given to the OCU is unknown.

At the moment, the commission is already making an inventory of the Intercession Cathedral property.

As the UOJ reported earlier, the raiders arranged a vote on the transfer of the cathedral to the OCU in Khmelnytsky.
