OCU priest from occupied Kherson spoke about the torture he experienced after being abducted on March 30 by the so-called " Then the Russian invaders broke into the Church of the Most Holy Theotokos, where he has his own parish, checked the documents and messengers of the audience and took the man with them..
" But gradually got tougher. I was accused of participating in sabotage and reconnaissance groups, that I was a member of the terrorist defense....
Then they put a hat on me, tied a shemagu (this is such a scarf) very painfully, squeezed the airways, nose. They said that the Ukrainian media had already reported that I had been killed.. And what am I going to think in the basement for two hours?.
Having made such an ambiguous hint, he was placed in the basement, where there is absolute darkness, there is no toilet and no opportunity to drink at least water.. Next, they took fingerprints.. They took a DNA sample. Constantly threatened, accusing of involvement in terrorist defense. It was hinted that trouble would happen to the family if he did not cooperate..

" They said my life is over. That they will tear me apart. That they will shoot me. I was taken to another room and they started beating me with a baton in the area of \u200b\u200bmy heart.. Due to dehydration, one cannot speak (the priest was not allowed to drink all this time - ed.. ), tried to force disclosure of the activities of the DRG. They beat me in the legs, strangled me, tied my hands with scotch tape,” says the clergyman.
He did not have time to clear the phone of all contacts, of which he had many, so he was worried or the Russian occupiers would not find the contacts they needed. The situation became more and more tense, the words were knocked out of the priest 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 a video where people say that they allegedly did not commit any violence against them. It is not true"
We are talking about the fact that the day before, under pressure, I had to record a video in which Chudinovich stated that he was not subjected to much pressure or violence.. The Russians instructed the clergyman to behave as before.
He did just that, but at the same time he was considering a plan to escape the occupation. He implemented his escape model and already on April 6 ended up in the territory controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Immediately made a statement to the police.

At the same time, the man apologized to everyone for, as he said, betrayal of Ukraine. However, commentators on the network have already managed to put everything in its place.
“Father, you did not betray either Ukraine, or God, or Truth! God saved your life in order to continue serving Him through serving your People, and you can always 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 father showed courage! I'm proud!
“You are a kind person, and always helped with your advice in difficult times. Stay healthy. At a time like this, judging someone is a sin.”.
" We are Gods to judge"
