Father Nicholas refuted the text message he allegedly sent today about his seizure. "At the door of the apartment where I live, today there were several unknown individuals who rang a bell and banged the door for a long time. When they are gone away, my parishioners and I have benefited from this opportunity and I left the room. I could only pick the Eucharistic set (chalice and paten) and documents", - said the Priest.

In a telephone conversation Fr.Kvych also said that a few minutes ago he spoke with Fr. Igor Havryliv, the Pastor of Community of UGCC in Yalta, who said that they with Fr. Bogdan Kostetskyi, who is the Pastor in Yevpatoria, are now in a safe place. Where exactly – did not report.
