According to information obtained by the information and awareness-raising department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, one man sustained a concussion, another’s hand was broken, and the father superior of the church, Archpriest Volodymyr Shuvar, was also hurt,” the UOC-MP said on its official website on Sept. 28.
