Who was Saint Paul of Tarsus?

The main focus of my editing is to expand and improve Wikipedia articles on the events of the Russo-Ukrainian war during February–April 2022, which is often called the first phase of the full-scale war. The areas that particularly interest me are southern Ukraine and the Chernihiv region. I speak Ukrainian and Russian at a moderate level and understand most written and spoken Ukrainian- and Russian-language sources.
