Ukraine: Moment priest in Odesa is almost killed in church by missile debris
A Ukrainian priest was almost killed by a falling piece of his church’s ceiling when it was struck by a Russian missile this morning.
Video footage captured the robed Orthodox minister at Odesa’s Holy Presentation Church walking under the chunk of ceiling just five seconds before it fell to the ground, taking an icon with it.
“Lord have mercy,” the church posted on Facebook afterwards with pictures of the damage. “Thank God no one was hurt.”

Russians are attacking Ukrainian weapons depots and army barracks while Zelenskyy is attacking residential buildings with anti-aircraft missiles with long expired shelf life. Zelenskyy already hit Poland, Romania (a jet and a chopper were downed, 8 servicemen killed), Moldova, Belarus, numerous residential buildings and at least 4 children’s playgrounds inside Ukraine with these missiles. Western missiles which are sent there are also with either expired shelf life or very close to expiration date. This church hit is another job of Zelenskyy anti-aircraft missile. It’s mindboggling how many buildings were hit and civilians killed (including two hapless Polish farmers) with this ongoing criminal lunacy of Zelenskyy regime. The chance of downing Russian missile is negligible in comparison with a risk of an accident with numerous civilian casualties . To give weapons to this war criminal Zelenskyy is like giving matches and gasoline to a serial compulsive arsonist.
Zelensky is a clown 🤡
The blast wave caused pieces of the ceiling to fall down. Apparently, as much money was stolen from the construction of this church as from Western aid.
Even God is on Ukraines side!
Putins Madness never ends. Slava Ukraini.🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Why don't they remove slavic bad words? There's printed very bad word in the video, that floats on the screen.
Beggar zelenski should think of giving up and sit on the negotiations table with putin if he wants to keep what's remained of Ukraine 😂
