“SBU with searches in a church in Lviv,” Kholod said on his page on the social network, indicating that the checks were taking place in the St. George Cathedral of the UOC.
Recall that earlier militants from the SBU in the Kharkiv region conducted searches at 14 objects of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
