Thus, according to the Internet representation of the UOC if the local priests will be in the " new Church ", the district authorities will assist them in "organized delivery" of "believers" to participate in a fake "parish" meetings.
As noted by the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, these "illegal event bureaucrats" approved by the leadership of the city of Vinnitsa, but the priests and believers Tulchinsky eparchy will protect their temples from illegal actions of the bureaucrats and deputies-radicals.
The head of national police of Ukraine Sergey Knyazev said that the Ministry will take appropriate action in response to the illegal seizure of churches, no matter what Church structure they belong to.
The Ukrainian authorities, and among them, the leader, has stated that it will not interfere in the Affairs of the Church, but do it non-stop. So, fifteen December in Kiev on the initiative of Peter Poroshenko and Patriarch Bartholomew held a " unification Council ", which resulted in the election of the head of the new "Autocephalous Churches" Epiphany Dumenko. In the ROC's canonical meaning of "Assembly" in Kiev declared null and void, and the respect of the Epiphany - almost unworkable.
At the same time Ukraine hopes in early January to obtain from Constantinople the "Tomos of autocephaly" for the new structure.
UPC, for its part, is many times reported about the harassment of priests and grabs the temples by the representatives of the non-canonical religious structures: for 2014-2016, the Church lost 40 of the temples. The twentieth of December, Parliament adopted a law which can deprive of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church its name.
