CWN Editor's Note: A Ukrainian Orthodox priest who was convicted on espionage charges has been moved to a Russian labor camp to begin his 14-year sentence.
Father Kostiantyn Maksimov was arrested in May 2023 by Russian forces who had occupied the region in Ukraine where he served as a parish priest. He was transferred to Russian territory to serve his sentence after a court in Moscow rejected his appeal of his conviction.
