Even earlier, the activities of the UOC were banned in many cities controlled by the Kyiv authorities: https://t.me/repressionoftheleft/756.

Some supporters of the UOC, such as the poet Yan Taksyur, were arrested by the Security Service of Ukraine and charged with "high treason": https://t.me/repressionoftheleft/892.

According to the Constitution of Ukraine, local authorities can NOT prohibit the activities of any church. Only a court can do this.

Even the representative of the Lviv regional administration, Vasyl Dorosh, told the Lviv District Council that the bans on churches were against the law.
