The security service documented anti-Ukrainian activities by the rector of the Odesa Diocese of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP). This is reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.
According to the case file, the cleric justified the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine and incited religious hatred.
As the investigation established, during sermons and communication with the faithful, the archpriest praised Putin and heroized the occupation groups of Russia.
Also, the person involved tried to justify the war crimes of the Rashists, including the Russian shelling of the civilian infrastructure of Ukraine.
Separately, the cleric imposed his own intolerance towards representatives of other denominations on parishioners and incited religious enmity.
SBU employees documented the crimes of the person involved.
The forensic-linguistic examination initiated by the Security Service confirmed the facts of information-subversive activities of the archpriest in favor of the Russian Federation.
On the basis of the collected evidence, the investigators of the Security Service notified the accused of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:
h 1 Art. 161 (violation of the equality of citizens depending on their racial, national, regional belonging, religious beliefs and on other grounds);
h 1 Art. 436-2 (justification, recognition as legitimate, denial of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants).
An investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime. The perpetrator faces prison terms.
We remind you that six more Ukrainian children were returned from the occupied Kherson region.
