Mytintsy, Khmelnitsky Province, Ukraine, September 9, 2024
Again manifesting their disdain for their fellow Ukrainians, the schismatics of the “Orthodox Church of Ukraine,” created and backed by Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, are working to evict a young priest and his wife with their four minor children.
One of the children is also disabled, reports the Khmelnitsky Diocese.
The schismatics captured the Church of St. Nicholas in the village of Mytinstsy, Khmelnitsky Province last year, and now they’re trying to make sure the canonical priest, Archpriest Oleg Tsaruk, and his family suffer as much as possible.
The Tsaruk family has been in the house since 2018 and has all the documents to prove that they own it. Nevertheless, the schismatics managed to convince the electric company to cut off electricity to the Tsaruk house.
An order of eviction was also issued by the chairman of the local village council. Fr. Oleg appealed to representatives of the local authorities but has yet to receive an answer.
The diocese notes that “unfortunately, this situation is no exception, and such things are unacceptable in a state that claims to be called democratic.”
