Invaders killed in Makiyivka were blessed with a cross stolen in Ukraine 40 days before their death

Journalist and blogger Denys Kazansky drew attention to this fact.

Russian media were not at all ashamed to brag about their looting. The cross from occupied Ukrainian Luhansk, illegally exported to the village of Roshchynske in the Samara region of the Russian Federation, they called a "unique relic". It was stolen from Ukraine three years ago by Archimandrite Varfolomiy (Kuznetsov).

Archpriest Dmitry Polyakov blessed the soldiers with the cross. He encouraged the invaders who were going to kill Ukrainians and assured that the Lord is with them.

In addition, one of the officials presented icons to the unit commanders.
