At the Christmas market in Szczecin, Poland, there was a scandal over a tent where  pro-Russian nuns from Belarus worked. This is reported by Polsat News, writes UNN.

It is noted that most of the tents at the Fair looked the same, while one of them became famous. We are talking about Shop No. 34, which is run by the Orthodox monastery of St. Elizabeth from Minsk. This women's religious community is subordinate to the Moscow Patriarchate. It actively supports the regime of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

These nuns go to various events in Europe to trade and earn money, some of which is intended to support the Lukashenka regime, and some will go to support the Russian military in Ukraine. They do not hide the fact that they buy equipment, cars and even ammunition for Russian soldiers,

- said Olga Khomich from the public initiative of Belarusians "Szczecin 646".

Belarusian activists living in Szczecin decided to organize a protest action. This became known to the management of the municipal company that organizes the fair. It was quickly decided to terminate the contract with the nuns.

After receiving information about the sisters ' additional activities, we took steps to prevent their further trade... we will no longer cooperate with the nuns either now or in the future,

- said the press secretary of the company Żegluga Szczecińska Turystyka events Selina Volos.

However, this problem applies not only to the Christmas market in Szczecin. Previously, the nuns 'tent appeared at the festival of three cultures in Volodar in September, as well as at the Volsky Orthodox cemetery in Warsaw during All Saints' Day.
