"Agents in cassocks": how clergymen of the UOC (MP) worked for the Russian Federal Security Service - Bigus.info

Bigus.info journalists have released a detailed investigation into one of the largest agent networks of Russian priests. Until recently, the "agents in cassocks" were based in the Kyiv-Persk Lavra, but were exposed by the SBU. The journalists of the Bigus.Info project investigated how the clergy of the UOC (MP) were working for the Russian FSB, reports UNN.

The Moscow Church still exists in Ukraine. And on its basis, the Kremlin's agent network operates to destabilize the domestic political situation. This network operates not only in Ukraine but also abroad. It disseminates information about the harassment of believers, clergy, and "religious journalists." It helps to block the bill to ban the Moscow church. In fact, it supports Russia's war against Ukraine and promotes Russian propaganda.
