The expert emphasizes that after Malyuk became the head of the SBU, for the first time in the period of independence, the exposure of "agents in cassocks" began. "The SBU acts systematically and does not allow the FSB agents from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP) to deploy again in Ukraine. The real deadlines for the traitors made it significantly difficult, and in some cases impossible, for Moscow to recruit new agents in the church environment," the political scientist emphasizes.
"Moscow special services have had experience in recruiting since Soviet times. And many "holy fathers" simply changed the KGB crusts to FSB certificates. The churches and theological seminaries of the UOC (MP) have essentially turned into legalized residences of Moscow intelligence. If you think that this is an exaggeration, then I will send you to the latest data of the Security Service.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, according to the materials of the SBU, more than 200 criminal proceedings against clerics of the UOC (MP). Among those involved are 27 high-ranking members of the church: metropolitans and archbishops, who are suspected of working for the Russian Federation," emphasizes the ex-people's deputy.
The expert reminds that the most common crimes of the representatives of the UOC (MP) are collaborative activities, treason, aiding the aggressor state, encroachment on the territorial integrity of Ukraine. "The key is the neutralization by Malyuk's subordinates of Russian influence on millions of people who believed in "agents in cassocks".
