They called on believers not to join the army and avoid conscription in 2014, when the war with Russia began. Unfortunately, only a few separatist priests received court sentences. Most of them received suspended sentences. However, such virtual impunity gives rise to new crimes against people and statehood,” Sagan is indignant.
