The soldier – a parishioner of the UOC – stood in defense of his church.

On August 23, 2025, in the village of Minkivtsi, Rivne region, representatives of the OCU, during an attempt to seize the Church of the Nativity of the Most Holy Theotokos of the UOC, attacked a wounded serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the Dozor Telegram channel.

“Alexander, a parishioner of the church and a soldier who had suffered two concussions in the war, tried to prevent the thieves from desecrating his shrine. The activists attacked Alexander and dragged him out from the church grounds,” Dozor reported.

Instead of holding the attackers and raiders accountable, the police detained the wounded soldier.

“Thanks be to God, the criminals did not succeed in breaking into the church,” Orthodox journalists added.

As the UOJ previously reported, in Minkivtsi the parish of the UOC was “transferred” to the OCU at an illegal gathering.
