In Crimea, the occupation authorities demand that the Orthodox Church of Ukraine “vacate the premises” of the Cathedral of Saints Volodymyr and Olha – the only OCU church in Simferopol.

Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya) of Chernihiv and Nizhyn reported this citing the letter of Archbishop Klyment of Simferopol and Crimea.

“The only Ukrainian Orthodox church in this city is facing elimination. Obviously, this is the revenge of Moscow, including for the archbishop's activities for protection of human rights,” wrote Archbishop Yevstratiy.
