All UOC worshippers who want to attend an all-night vigil at the Pochaiv Lavra are being checked.

At the moment, there are queues of people wishing to go to prayer near the monastery.
In addition, in the town of Kremenets, pilgrims from the town of Rakhiv were removed from a passenger bus and the car was taken away for examination.
