A Russian Orthodox Church priest, named Mykhailo Vasylyuk, stood at the altar during the funeral of a Kiev soldier and tried to beat the Ukrainian priest Anatoly Dudko with a cross he wore around his neck.
While the attack took place in Mykolaiv, Ukraine on July 22, Ukrainian Orthodox Church member Anatoly was celebrating the funeral of officer Oleksandr Zinivy.
But the footage was released by local media this Friday (29), which explains why Vasylyuk will be outraged after the Ukrainian pastor accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of starting a war in Ukraine to defend the Russian Orthodox faith.
In a video shared on social media, it is possible to see the Russian priest climbing the altar with the cross in his hand, pushing and pulling the clothes of the priest who pushed him. Next, the priest tries to hit the Ukrainian with the cross while the victim tries to defend himself. A short time later, one of the security agents takes Vasylyuk away.
According to local activist Serhiy Timkov, the Ukrainian priest was slightly injured. “I think this goes beyond all possible and impossible limits of arrogance,” he wrote on Facebook.
