SBU opened criminal proceedings regarding the support of the Odessa City Council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. This was reported in the "FaceBook" MP Vitaly Kupriy.

"I just received a letter from the chairman of the Security Service of Ukraine Vasyl Hrytsak, in which he announced the opening of a criminal proceeding on my application under Art.. 110-2 CC "Financing of actions committed for the purpose of violent change or overthrow of the constitutional order or seizure of state power, change of borders of the territory or state border of Ukraine," B wrote. Kuprij.

He explained that last year the deputy of the City Council Anna Pozdnyakova discovered the fact of funding the church for the amount of 2.

2 million UAH per year, which allegedly goes to the maintenance of the monument of architecture - the Transfiguration Cathedral. At the same time, the cathedral is not a communal property.

In the opinion of A. Pozdnyakova, this attitude towards the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate brings discord into the confessional environment.

"However, the problem is more profound, because part of the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate has become an important element of the so-called" hybrid war "of Russia against Ukraine," B added.. Kuprij.
