The UN OHCHR announced the ongoing intimidation of UOC believers in Ukraine. “Clerics and parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) continued to be subject to intimidation during the reporting period,” the document notes.

Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) conducted searches of employees of the Union of Orthodox Journalists (UOJ). The UNOHCHR alone recorded six cases in five regions when groups of people forcibly broke into the churches of the UOC.
