The Russian invaders killed a military chaplain of Orthodox Church of Ukraine in Volnovakha

“Always be there, spiritually supporting our defenders – the meaning of the service of military chaplains: in any situation, under all conditions and circumstances, sometimes even at the cost of their own lives... We sadly found out that in Volnovakha Russian invaders killed a military chaplain, abbot Plato (Morgunova),” the statement said.

Abbot Plato was tonsured a monk in the St. Theodosius Monastery in Kyiv, and for a long time struggled in the St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery.

“Father Plato was a bright and good man. This is how you will remain in our memory forever, Father. Let us pray for the peace of the servant of God, Abbot Plato, may the Lord rest his soul in His homes,” the clergy said.

The details of the tragic case and the circumstances under which it occurred are not reported in the letter.
