The investigation found that in 2020, the cleric ordered to create a new departmental site in the diocese according to the ROC template. For this purpose, Russian software was used, which retorted destructive content from pro-Kremliv Internet resources, such as "patriarchia. ru" and "pravoslavie. ru". On these resources propagandists justify the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and military crimes of the invaders.
Also, on the "new" site, the Metropolitan praised the Moscow priests who help the Russian Federation and urged religious communities to unite in the war against Ukraine. The Metropolitan reported suspicion under Part 2 and Part 3 of Art. 436-2 of the Criminal Code (justification, recognition legitimate, denial of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, glorification of its participants). The issue of choosing a preventive measure cleric is being resolved.
At the time of the material, the press service of the UOC -MP did not formally comment on the detention of the head of the Cherkasy Diocese. It should be reminded that the SBU exposed the priest from Izium, who during the occupation of Kharkiv region blessed Russian soldiers and arranged a ecclesiastical course for the sake of propaganda videos of Roszma. In the Chernivtsi region, the priests of the UOC-MP did not let the coffin with the body of a 28-year-old resident in the war.
