Colonel Larysa Polianska, head of the chaplain service of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, is reportedly overseeing the large-scale distribution of draft notices to UOC clergy, according to UOJ sources.
The structure headed by Polianska has been given a database containing addresses and personal details of UOC clergy across Ukraine. As a result, draft notices are being sent directly from Kyiv to the regions, bypassing local military enlistment offices. According to clergy, local recruitment officials are unaware of this centralized distribution.
If priests are not found at their registered addresses, they are immediately declared wanted.
Sources also report that Polianska has a friendly relationship with Dumenko, who allegedly uses the threat of draft notices against disobedient clergy.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that a woman was appointed head of the Ground Forces Chaplain Service.
