After the liberation of Sudzhi and part of the Kursk region by Russian military units, priests of the military department of the Kursk Diocese, Priest Igor Vasyukov and Hieromonk Meletiy (Pestunov), a resident of the Gornal Nikolaevsky Belogorsky monastery, which was barbarously destroyed as a result of an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, together with military personnel and volunteers, were able to evacuate 70 people.
During the evacuation on March 17, 2025, Priest Igor Vasyukov and Hieromonk Meletiy (Pestunov) with a group of volunteers were attacked by an enemy FPV drone, as a result of which the volunteers and Father Meletiy were injured, who promptly provided assistance to the wounded until they were handed over to doctors.
Hieromonk Meletiy (Pestunov), a resident of the Gornal monastery near Suja, continues his ministry after the monastery was destroyed by Ukrainian troops in August 2024, feeding the Russian military and saving civilians.
