In addition to the ban, the deputies add recommendations to law enforcement agencies to ensure a quick and effective response to the discovery of facts of anti-Ukrainian propaganda by representatives of religious, public and other organizations.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that none of the 623 communities of the UOC had moved to the OCU in Transcarpathia.
