Officers of the Volyn Territorial Recruitment Center (TRC) abducted Oleh Rudnychok, a deacon of the UOC Dormition Cathedral in Volodymyr, directly from his workplace, according to the First Cossack Telegram channel.

Officers of the Volyn Regional Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center forcibly made Father Oleh get into a minibus. The recruitment officers did not check any of the UOC cleric’s documents. They then took him to the Volyn Regional TRC and Social Support Center to undergo a military medical examination.

The UOJ Telegram channel has published a guide providing a step-by-step procedure for what to do during the first three hours following an unlawful mobilization.

As the UOJ previously reported, TRC officers detained a dean of the Oleksandriia Eparchy.
