OCU priest’s family in Berdiansk threatened with murder

In the city of Berdiansk, which was captured by Russian invaders, the family members of Oleh Nikolaiev, a priest of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU), are being threatened with murder, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Nikolaiev told that he and his wife were continuously receiving SMS messages from quislings, who had been in charge of pro-Russian movements in Berdiansk.

The priest posted a screenshot of messages sent by the enemy on his Facebook page.

Ukrinform is calling on all international organizations to monitor the situation and Ukrainian partisans to attempt to neutralize this person.

On February 27, 2022, Russian soldiers captured all administrative buildings in Berdiansk. In addition, they shot a man, who refused to give them his phone to make a call to Russia.

A reminder that, on February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, starting a war.
