the Ukrainian village of Kalanchak
Russian occupation forces released Fr Bohdan and Fr Ivan (with 8 other Ukrainian civilians) in a prisoner exchange on 28 June 2024 after 19 months in detention. Russian occupation forces have also apparently murdered religious leaders they have seized. On 13 February 2024, unknown men from the occupation forces seized 59-year-old Fr Stepan Podolchak of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) in the Ukrainian village of Kalanchak in the Russian-occupied part of Kherson Region. He chose to remain in Kalanchak to serve his community after the Russian occupation of much of Ukraine’s Kherson Region in early 2022. สล็อต เว็บตรง
