In Kremenchuk, representatives of the OCU cancelled their "service" planned for 29 December at the Dormition Cathedral, reports the local activist Olha Ponomarenko on her Facebook page, according to Telegraf.
Ponomarenko claimed that the date of the first "service" was not announced in advance, allegedly to prevent provocations. Despite this, it had to be postponed.
As reported by the UOJ, on 27 December, representatives of the OCU cut the locks and entered the Dormition Cathedral of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Kremenchuk. In particular, the intruders broke down the Royal Doors of the iconostasis and entered the altar. Believers were particularly outraged by the fact that one of the activists, a woman, also entered the altar.
