In the city of Khmelnitsky in western Ukraine, radicals desecrated the St. Nicholas Cathedral of the Canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) and disrupted a divine service with the participation of Metropolitan Onufriy. This was announced on May 21 by the Union of Orthodox Journalists (UOJ).

"Garbage trucks and sewage transportation vehicles have been installed near the cathedral. About 100 people gathered, who attacked the parishioners and accused them of working for the Russian world. One of the activists doused the gates of the cathedral with pig's blood," the UOJ Telegram channel clarifies.

It is reported that due to the attack by the radicals, divine services with the participation of Metropolitan Onufry of the UOC were canceled.
