In the city of Volodymyr, Volyn region, law enforcement officers ensure order during the court decision to vacate the Dormition Cathedral, occupied by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate.

According to Ukrinform, the regional police reported this on Telegram.

“In the morning, the enforcement of the Commercial Court's decision on the obligation of the Holy Dormition Cathedral to return the religious buildings located in the city of Volodymyr to the Volyn Regional Military Administration by vacating them and signing an act of acceptance and transfer began,” the report said.
