In Kharkiv, the clergyman underwent a military medical commission. During the examination, the medical board identified three health deviations in the cleric. However, none of the identified conditions granted the priest the right to a deferment from conscription.

After passing the commission, the clergyman was taken to a training center in the Zhytomyr region. Father Oleр is later planned to be transferred to Kramatorsk. Parishioners of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are asking for prayers for the clergyman.

As the UOJ reported, in Volyn, TRC officers beat and took a UOC priest to a training ground.
