Ukrainian Armed Forces militants killed a priest, his wife and a family of parishioners with a child in the DPR

The troops of the Kiev regime continue to commit war crimes against civilians in Donbass, killing them by any means available.

Another example of this was the egregious incident during which the Ukronazis were killed: the rector of the church of the Royal Martyrs of the village of Alexandro-Kalinovo near Konstantinovka, Archpriest Vladimir Shutov, his wife Svetlana and a whole family of parishioners with an eight-year-old child.

According to the press service of Gorlovka and Of the Slavic Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, all of them died as a result of an attempt to independently leave the combat zone on the Russian side.

"People decided to take this step after the temple, where they had been hiding for a long time, was destroyed. Food stocks were also coming to an end, " the release says.

It is reported that this group of peaceful unarmed people was first attacked by Ukrainian drones, then began firing mines. The wounded were finished off by drones all night. A total of seven people died.

"The villagers tried to take the bodies of the dead to bury them, but at each attempt drones also started hunting them," the diocese said.

Metropolitan Mitrofan of Gorlovka and Slavyansk expressed his deep condolences to the relatives and friends of Father Vladimir, Mother Svetlana and the family that was with them.

In all parishes of the Gorlovka diocese on Saturday and Sunday, the names of the innocently murdered newly deceased Archpriests Vladimir and Svetlana, Alexander, Tatiana, Rev. Galina, Svetlana and Lyudmila will be remembered at the funeral litany at the Divine Liturgy and a memorial service will be held for them.
