Searches in the houses of the UOC MP and sanctions of the National Security Council

Since October, the SBU has been conducting large-scale searches in regional churches of the UOC MP. In November, the security forces also visited the priests in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, where the priest and the congregation sang a prayer glorifying Russia.

On the ground, the special service finds mostly banned propaganda literature that denies the existence of Ukraine.

On December 1, President Volodymyr Zelensky instructed the National Security Council to submit to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law banning the activities of the UOC MP, which may be affiliated with the Russian Orthodox Church. Zelensky also hinted that the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra could be taken away from the Moscow Patriarchate in favor of the Ukrainian Church.

On December 2, the National Security Council imposed sanctions against the vicar of the Lavra, Novinsky and other priests of the UOC MP. About ten clergymen of the Moscow Patriarchate have come under restrictions.

The threat of a new massive missile attack on Ukraine

During the last week, the military, politicians and Western experts have been paying attention to the suspicious aerial activity of Russian warplanes on the territory of Engels and Engels-2 airfields.

According to analysts, this may indicate that the enemy is preparing for a new massive attack on Ukrainian cities in the near future. Ukrainians are urged not to ignore air alarms.

Since October 10, Russia has been targeting Ukrainian energy. The latest attack by the Russian Federation provoked a blackout in the energy sector: millions of Ukrainians were left without electricity, water, heat and communication.
