It is noted that earlier with Eugene already had a conversation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and explained to him that he would stop in his statements to justify the Kremlin regime and military actions of Russia. "Despite the previous warnings, Reshetnikov did not change his behavior, which is recognized as incompatible with the values ​​and legal environment of Estonia. Therefore, the actions of Reshetnikov pose a threat to security," the department said.

The residence permit ends on February 6. He had a residence permit in Estonia for four years. He was last continued short -term permission two years ago. Police also considered a request for Reshetnikov and concluded that his public statements influence Estonia's internal security. The Estonian Internal Security Service has also contributed.

"ICS states that Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, Cyril, as the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, consistently justified and supported the bloody aggression of the Kremlin regime against Ukraine. . Estonia emphasized that the decision not to continue the residence of Reshetnikov concerns only his behavior and has nothing to do with the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate or its believers.
