On October 22, Uniates, who seized the Annunciation Church in Kolomyia, brought the UOC
believers out of the territory of the church by force. As a UOJ correspondent reports, the situation was
observed by about 60 policemen. They did not prevent the priests of the UGCC Mikhail Arsenich and Nikolai Medinsky from using force against the parishioners of the canonical
Church.
The Uniates were hostile not only to believers but also to representatives of the press. The journalists present were not allowed to record
what was happening, their cameras were taken away.
On the fence around the Annunciation Church, representatives of the UGCC hung the flag of Ukraine and a red-black flag. Over both banners,
icons were attached.
On October 4, the court recognized the legitimate rights of the UOC
community to use the Annunciation Church in Kolomyia.
