On April 27, 2026, TRC officers abducted a monk of the Bancheny Monastery Archimandrite Sergius, who is a guardian of disabled children. Metropolitan Longin and hundreds of UOC believers gathered near the TRC building in Chernivtsi, demanding the release of the clergyman.
“Freedom for guardians!” the crowd chanted.
After a short time, the military commissars released the clergyman.
