On February 26, 2024, at the age of 59, Professor Sviatoslav Chokaliuk of the Kyiv Orthodox Theological Academy of the OCU passed away. He was previously referred to as the paternal uncle of the head of the OCU, Epifaniy Dumenko. Rector of the KOTA, Oleksandr Trofymliuk, announced this on his Facebook page.
The rector of the academy did not disclose the cause of Chokaliuk's death.
