Klyachanovo is mourning: villagers said farewell to a hero who died in the ATO area (PHOTOS)

August 20 was a very tragic day for Klyachanovo, as the village said farewell to its own son, who was killed during fighting in the area of anti-terrorist operation.

Almost all residents of the village came to the funeral of the deceased volunteer of the "Aydar" battalion Albert Padyukov.

During the funeral, Father Mykhailo emphasized that, along with the military front, there must be spiritual front in our souls, because it is difficult to keep aggression in human souls. Therefore, to deal with it, people have to pray for the conversion of the aggressor country and the people who live in the combat zone. The priest said that because of the unfair war on the part of neighboring state, every day innocent people are dying. And therefore, the best weapon is prayer and peaceful thoughts.

"This is not a new war. This is a thousand-year war between good and evil. And therefore, we have to fight our own evil in our minds and souls. Only then we will win and there will be peace" – Father Mykhailo said.

After the speech, there was a procession to the village cemetery, which is located next to the church. Albert Padyukov was buried with all military honors next to the tomb of his own father.
