MOSCOW, April 8 – RIA Novosti. St. Michael’s Cathedral of the Canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) in Shepetivka, Khmelnytsky region, was captured by looters, the UOC’s Chernivtsi-Bukovina Diocese reported on Saturday. “Shepetivka. That’s all. The cathedral has been captured,” read the message from the diocese on the telegraph channel. According to the Union of Orthodox Journalists, the cathedral was seized by supporters of the Ukrainian Orthodox Schismatic Church (OCU). On Tuesday, the Khmelnitsky Regional Council decided to ban UOC activities in the region. Over the past year, Ukrainian authorities have staged the largest wave of persecution of the UOC in the country’s recent history. Referring to its links with Russia, local authorities in different regions of Ukraine have decided to ban the activities of the UOC, and a draft law on its effective ban in Ukraine has been submitted to the country’s parliament. The authorities have imposed sanctions against some representatives of the UOC clergy. Ukraine’s Security Service has begun criminal proceedings against UOC clergy, carrying out “counter-intelligence activities” – searches of bishops and priests, in churches and monasteries, seeking evidence of “anti-Ukrainian activities”.
