MP Artem Dmytruk stated that "shape-shifters in military uniforms" seizing UOC temples and engaging in combat against peaceful citizens undermine trust in both the Armed Forces and the government as a whole. He wrote about this on his Telegram channel, commenting on the seizure of the Kazan Temple of the UOC in Ladyzhyn, Vinnytsia Oblast.
According to him, the authorities' response to the seizure of the temple in Ladyzhyn should be extremely tough.
The MP also noted that there should be "zero tolerance for bandits who break into temple doors and beat women, the elderly, and priests."
"The same fair and severe punishment will befall those who use military uniforms to carry out their criminal actions. A chevron or uniform does not give the right to commit lawlessness! ...> We must understand that a person putting on a military uniform to free their hands is worthy of having those hands bound by the law – seriously and for a long time," he wrote.
As a reminder, the rector was brutally beaten, and the Kazan Temple was seized in Ladyzhyn.
As reported by the UOJ, after the attempt to seize the temple in Ladyzhyn, a case of document forgery was initiated.
