Today we were raiding the largest Orthodox church in my city Cherkasy. Why and how this happened?

St. Michael's Cathedral today was transferred from the Russian Orthodox to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. A group of 40 people were put to protect it at night because officials knew that Russian Orthodox supporters will stage a provocation. Unfortunately they didn't warn enough people.

At 3 a.m a group of 100 supporters of the Russian Orthodox raided the Church. They broke cameras and barricaded themselves inside.
Videos of fights were posted in local telegram groups and later a lot of people: young and old, civilians and soldiers gathered together and fight those who were inside.

Some of our volunteers went first to the fight. And some of us were gathering balaclavas, extinguishers and pepper sprays. I took some airsoft grenades but as i woke up too late didn't get lucky to take a part in the main push.

In the video you can see a lot of older people, but don't be fooled by this. The main part was brought by buses to seize the building.

What about the police? Legally, they could not expel them from the Church, so they gave a tacit consent without interfering our actions
