In Ivano-Frankivsk, the last church in this region, which previously belonged to the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate, was transferred to the OCU.

However, it was not without skirmishes and provocations from the UOC MP.

The mayor of Frankivsk, Ruslan Marcinkiv, told about it.

According to him, the church is now the property of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine.

The community is officially registered and has ownership rights to these premises.

"Unfortunately, today we met resistance, people stood at the entrance and did not let the priests of the OCU into the premises, the church was sprayed with gas. And the day before, unknown people closed the gates to the church. However, the priests of the OCU got inside and led a prayer," said Martsinkiv.

Meanwhile, videos of stormy events near the temple appeared on the Internet.

In particular, the video shows parishioners shouting the word "pervert" escorting the odious bishop of the Ivano-Frankivsk UOC MP, Nikita, who is involved in the scandal with the naked underage "chorister" out of the church gates.

We will remind that, according to the mass media, it was Bishop Nikita, who at that time was the secretary of the Chernivtsi Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Ukraine, who was found by SBU officers together with a naked boy during searches in December of last year.

Information appeared on the Internet that the young man is only 17 years old.

The clergyman himself denied this information and stated that they were forced to undress by SBU employees.

The SBU has never officially confirmed the fact of the sex scandal.

She only stated that during the searches, the law enforcement officers found methods from Moscow, Russian citizenship and identification cards of the occupiers.
