On August 29, 2025, in the village of Pyriatyn, Dubno district, Rivne region, staff of the Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) took Archpriest Volodymyr Hlavatsky directly from the cemetery, where he had just buried a soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yurii Datsiuk. This was reported on Telegram by mobilized priest Fr. Ioann Polishchuk.
“Archpriest Volodymyr Hlavatsky was given a summons by the TRC right at the grave, still in his vestments. As usual, they hastily ‘drew up’ the military medical commission, and now Father Volodymyr is already at the training ground. The parish is left without a priest,” wrote Fr. Ioann.
Archpriest Volodymyr Hlavatsky is the rector of the St. Michael’s community in Pyriatyn.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the TRC had taken a UOC priest with many children directly from the Pochaiv religious procession.
