The Security Service of Ukraine conducts security measures in churches and monasteries of the UOC (MP) in nine regions of Ukraine.

This was reported by the SBU press service.

Searches are ongoing at UOC (MP) facilities in Zakarpattia, Chernivtsi, Rivne, Volyn, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Lviv, Zhytomyr and Kherson regions.
