Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and as of November 4, 2024, 26 religious communities in the Lviv region have changed their subordination from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which is in unity with the Moscow Patriarchate, to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine by amending their statutes.

During said period, another 25 religious organizations of the UOC-MP ceased their activities on their own orders.

This was reported by the Department for Culture, Nationalities and Religions of the Lviv Regional Military Administration at the request of RISU.

In particular, on November 4, by the order of the head of the Lviv Regional Military Administration of 04.11.2024 No. 1179/0/5-24VA, amendments to the charter of the religious organization “Religious community of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the village of Vidniv, Nesterov district, Lviv region” were approved and it became a community of the OCU. RISU has already reported on its transition.
