Ukrainian priest says his emotional captivity was worse than physical

Ukrainian Catholic Father Tykhon Kulbaka , who was held in pro-Russian separatists' captivity for 12 days, speaks with a U.S. delegation June 22 in Lviv. The priest recalled his 12 days in captivity and said the emotional captivity that followed was worse than his physical captivity.

LVIV, Ukraine - Ukrainian Catholic Father Tykhon Kulbaka was headed to the chapel in the room rented by the local Catholic community. En route, he stopped at a grocery store, where four men grabbed him, blindfolded him and made him breathe chloroform.
