Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Anton Korynevych is outraged that the Russian authorities in Crimea do not allow the Orthodox Church of Ukraine to hold divine services.
He wrote about this on his page on Facebook commenting on the attack of the Russian occupiers on the OCU church during the Liturgy.
"Today, representatives of the occupation administration of the Russian Federation are once again committing illegal actions against the Crimean Diocese of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, they disallow worship services to be held and draw up"protocols". Violations of the rights of believers, freedom of conscience and religion are systemic violations of human rights and freedoms by the occupation administration of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol," Anton Korynevych wrote.
