In-depth polygraph interrogations and searches: SBU reported on raids on Orthodox monasteries
During yesterday's searches in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the SBU discovered Russian citizens and pro-Russian literature.
This is reported by the PolitNavigator correspondent, as stated in the message of the Ukrainian special service.
“The Security Service of Ukraine has completed counterintelligence (security) activities carried out in the territories of the Holy Dormition Kiev-Pechersk Lavra in Kiev, the Koretsky Holy Trinity Monastery and in the premises of the Sarny-Polessk diocese of the UOC in the Rivne region,” the SBU said.
In total, in cooperation with the police and the National Guard, more than 350 church buildings and 850 people were thoroughly checked.
“More than 50 people underwent in-depth counterintelligence interviews, including using a polygraph. Among them were not only Ukrainian citizens, but also foreigners, including Russian citizens, who were on the territory of the facilities.
Some of them, when checking documents, provided passports and military IDs of the USSR, did not have original documents at all, but only copies of them, or had passports of Ukrainian citizens with signs of forgery or damage. Currently, an in-depth check is being carried out on them,” the message says.
“In addition, during security measures the following was discovered: pro-Russian literature used in teaching in seminaries and parish schools, including for propaganda of the “Russian world”; cash totaling more than UAH 2 million, more than 100 thousand US dollars and several thousand Russian rubles,” the SBU added.
It is emphasized that all materials will be transferred for appropriate expert research.
