A Russian drone attack killed a Seventh-day Adventist priest Artur Kucheriavenko and wounded his father, fellow pastor Vladyslav Kucheriavenko in Solonchaky, Mykolaiv Oblast. The attack came as they were delivering humanitarian aid.

According to the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (UGCC), Artur and his father were distributing coal to local residents to help them prepare for winter when Russian drones struck, wounding six civilians and fatally injuring Artur.  The continued assault delayed the arrival of first responsenders.  The injured were eventually transported to a hospital, but Artur succumbed to his injuries.

UGCC leader Major Archbishop Sviatoslav expressed deep condolences in a letter to the president of the Ukrainian Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Stanislav Nosov, and the Adventist community. He praised Father Artur for embodying the spirit of the Gospel by serving those in need and prayed for the recovery of the injured and strength for the Kucheriavenko family.

“May Artur’s example of service to others stand as a testimony to God’s power amidst this brutal war,” Sviatoslav wrote, emphasizing the tragic loss for the Adventist Church and its faithful in Ukraine.
