On February 27, in the Kyiv region, Russian invaders shot and killed a chaplain of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Maksym Kozakyn, RISU reports.
Theologian Andriy Smirnov shared the following on Facebook:
Since his ordination in 2000, Kozachyn served as the parish priest of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rozvazhiv, located in the Ivano-Frankivsk district in the Kyiv region of Ukraine. The Orthodox priest was killed by advancing Russian soldiers when he was leaving the town by car. Russian soldiers did not allow locals to remove his body.
