CWN Editor's Note: “Well-armed Russian forces were present here even before the invasion,” Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church said in an interview. “We discovered we had them among our cathedral choir. They (knew) very well where I live, where my window is, where the entrance to our building is. I was on the list to be eliminated.”
