“Courts hearings took place earlier. These are court decisions that were ruled in Simferopol and Sevastopol that I should vacate the building (the Cathedral in Simferopol) and return it to the Ministry of Land and Property Relations. At the same time I must pay the legal costs incurred by the Ministry of Land and Property Relations, that is, because the ministry throws me out onto the street, because Aniukhina (Russian Minister of Property and Land Relations of Crimea Anna Aniukhina) destroys the church and essentially steals our property. I have to pay 50 thousand for this. I don’t have that kind of money”,- emphasized Archbishop Klyment, according to the Crimea.Realities media agency.
If the fee is not paid, the bailiffs threaten to arrest and seize the property.
We remind that in July 2019 the so-called Ministry of Property and Land Relations of Crimea began “repairing” of the premises of the Cathedral of Saint Volodymyr and Olha of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) in Simferopol, as a result of which, according to archbishop Klyment of the Crimean Diocese, church property was “plundered and broken.”
On August 6, 2019, the administration of the Crimean Diocese of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine appealed the decision of the so-called Arbitration Court of Crimea on the suit of the so-called Ministry of Property of Crimea on early termination of the lease agreement for the premises of the Cathedral of Saint Volodymyr and Olha in Simferopol.
