In Kramatorsk, TRC officers mobilized a priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

In Kramatorsk, officers from the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) detained Father Oleg Kruchinin, the rector of the Church of the Intercession of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. It is reported that the priest was forcibly taken to a training center.

According to , during his examination by a military medical commission in Kharkiv, Father Oleg was found to have three medical conditions. Despite these diagnoses, the board concluded that these conditions do not provide the clergyman with legal grounds for a deferment from military service.

After completing the medical examination procedures, the priest was sent to a training center located in the Zhytomyr region. The command plans to subsequently transfer him back to Kramatorsk. Believers are calling for prayerful support for the rector under these circumstances.

As a reminder, we recently reported that in Volodymyr-Volynskyi, TRC officers beat and detained a priest of the UOC.
