In the center of Kyiv, on the evening of September 10, Metropolitan Clement of Simferopol and Crimea was beaten.
In addition to serving in the church, Kliment is also a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Clement came to Kyiv at the invitation of the Crimean Platform.
Around 11:00 p.m., he was walking toward the Mikhailovsky Monastery, where he has a cell. Three people near the monastery stopped him and started beating him.
He claims that in order for the priest to stop, one of the three said: “Lord, bless!”
Therefore, according to Clement, the attack was planned.
Kyiv police announced the opening of a criminal case.
