A video of a man in a military uniform rudely talking to a priest is circulating on social networks. It was probably recorded today in the Stryi district.
The man in uniform spoke rudely to the father, threatening to “load him like a dog” if he did not appear at the TCC, or else take his son and son-in-law to the TCC. The video also recorded the attack of the soldier on the father.
Judging by everything, the people in the video are familiar and the man in military uniform has a personal grudge against his father.
The situation needs to be fully clarified, because there is only a fragment of a video recording and a conversation taken out of context on the Internet, – LOVA chairman Maksym Kozytskyi reacted to the event. I am asking the management of the Lviv Regional TCC and SP to find out whether the men in uniforms in this video are really employees of the TCC, and to evaluate their actions.
Subsequently, the Lviv Regional TCC and JV reported:
On December 12, 2023, a video was circulated on social networks in which a man in a military uniform speaks disparagingly to a priest and accuses him of not showing up to the TCC and SP.
In order to find out the circumstances of the incident and the involvement of servicemen of the TCC and SP, an official inspection was conducted and the following was found out.
During the implementation of a planned notification to clarify the military registration data of conscripts, a civilian in military uniform, who has a personal dislike for the clergyman, intervened in the work process of military personnel of the TCC and SP.
At the same time, the actions of the military personnel of the TCC and SP were legal, the summons was issued in advance. A citizen (priest) who is conscripted was summoned to the TCC and SP to clarify military registration data.
We remind you that there is a full-scale war going on in the country, it is the duty of every citizen to appear to clarify their credentials in the event of a subpoena.
On this occasion, we express our sincere gratitude to thousands of priests and chaplains who, along with our soldiers at the front, support the moral and fighting spirit of believers!
Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
