The SSU stated that it was “cleansing Russian agents from the UOC.” This was stated by the head of the department Malyuk. In his opinion, “if a person is in a cassock and with a censer, this is not an extenuating circumstance,” writes KlymenkoTime.

“If a person is in a cassock and with a censer, this is not a mitigating circumstance in the commission of a crime, as well as a burdensome one. For example, as a spotter in a cassock, aiming fire at peaceful quarters. The court gave him 12 years. We changed him, he had already left for the enemy, confirming his belonging to their special services. What does he have in common with God, I wonder?” – explained the head of the SSU.
