Boryspil City Council Bans Cross Procession

Boryspil City Council during an extraordinary session on Friday banned the Cross Procession of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Moscow Patriarchate from entering the city and reported this on Facebook.

With the same decision the Council asked law enforcement agencies to ensure the law and order in the city and the safety of its residents.

Sides supporting and opposing this decision clashed during the session. Supporters were local priests of the Moscow Patriarchate, opposition included veterans of the ATO, volunteers and representatives of the local communities. "The session was controversial and highly emotional," — states Boryspil City Council.

Earlier the Ukrainian Defence Ministry stated that the cross procession includes saboteurs acting in the interests of Russia.
