The priest called the absence of victims in the Belgorod temple complex a miracle.

A cleric of the Belgorod Archdiocese, Priest Nikolai Dubinin, on Friday, April 25, called it a miracle that no one was injured during the attack of the Armed forces of Ukraine (AFU) on the New Jerusalem temple in the Belgorod region.

"To date, thank God, there are no casualties. And this, of course, is a miracle. Because Father Fyodor (the rector of the church) is there. — Ed.) and the old monks live right on the temple grounds. Thus, they managed to escape somehow. I can't even imagine," Father Nikolai said in an interview with aif.ru .
