“I didn't know what to do. I said goodbye to life, prayed… I want everyone to know how they treat people, with whom they then make videos where people say that they were not allegedly abused. It is not true”.
Priest of the PCU from occupied Kherson < told about the tortures he suffered after being abducted on March 30 by the so-called "police". Then the Russian occupiers broke into the Church of the Blessed Virgin, where he has his parish, checked the documents and messengers of those present and took the man with them.
“When I was brought to the building that was the building of the National Police, I was interviewed there, at first it was polite and even interesting. It gradually became more rigid. I was accused of participating in sabotage and reconnaissance groups, that I was a member of the Terror Defense. They said that the Ukrainian media had already reported that I had been killed. And that I will think in the basement for two hours. ”
Having made such an ambiguous hint, he was placed in the basement, where there is absolute darkness, no toilet, and the opportunity to drink at least water. Then they took fingerprints. A DNA sample was taken. Constantly threatened, accusing of involvement in the defense. They hinted that there would be trouble with the family if they did not cooperate. At the next stage, Chudynovych was visited in masks:

“They broke their arms. They said my life was over. That they will disassemble me. That they will shoot me. I was taken to another room and beaten with a truncheon in the heart area. Due to dehydration, he could not speak (the priest was not allowed to drink all this time – ed.), They tried to force him to reveal the activities of the DRG. They beat me on the legs, strangled me, tied my hands with scotch tape, ”says the priest.
He did not have time to clean the phone, he had all the contacts he had a lot of, so he was worried whether the Russian occupiers would find the contacts they needed. The situation became more and more tense, and the priest was told that he would cooperate. Then they softened the rhetoric. “
” I didn't know what to do. I said goodbye to life, prayed… I want everyone to know how they treat people, with whom they then make videos where people say that they were not allegedly abused. That's not true. “
It is said that the day before, under pressure, we had to record a video in which Chudynovych stated that he was not subjected to much pressure or violence. The Russians instructed the clergyman to behave as before.
He did so, but at the same time considered a plan to flee the occupation. He realized his model of escape and on April 6 found himself in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces. He immediately made a statement to the police.

- “Father, you have not betrayed Ukraine, God or Truth! God has saved your life to continue to serve Him through service to His People, and you can always have time to become a martyr. Thank God for this and for your decency and honesty! ”
- “ The main thing is the result. You are in Ukraine! In inhuman conditions, you have shown courage, Father! I'm proud! ”
- You are a good person, and you have always helped with your advice in difficult times. I wish you health. Judging someone at this time is a sin. ”
- “No one knows what to do in such a situation and no one has the right to judge. We are Gods to judge. ”
