During a television marathon segment about Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, an OCU chaplain commented on a journalist's statement that the primary concern for soldiers on the front line is whether killing the enemy is a sin.
He stated that in this context, even the word "killing" is not used.
He explained that a Ukrainian soldier, within the bounds of the law, “eliminates enemy personnel.”
Therefore, says the OCU chaplain, “each of them (a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) should not feel guilty.”
As previously reported by the UOJ, an AFU servicewoman was punished by being “sent to the frontline” for defending the UOC.
