CWN Editor's Note: Metropolitan Kliment of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) was assaulted and beaten on the street in Kiev on September 10.
Officials of the OCU said that the attack was obviously premeditated, and the bishop had been targeted. The OCU is an autonomous body, not affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church.
Metropolitan Kliment was driven out of his see in Crimea when Russian troops took over the region in 2014. He was in Kiev for international meetings aimed at securing the restoration of Crimea to Ukrainian government control.
