Ukrainian "Security Forces" Storm Historic Orthodox Church in ‘Counterintelligence’ Raid
The notorious Ukrainian security forces responsible for rounding up supposed ‘Russian collaborators’ appear to have been given a new target: Orthodox priests and parishioners. | Ukraine's SBU security forces raided a 1,000-year-old Orthodox Christian monastery in Kiev on Tusday in what they described as efforts to neutralize supposed “subversive activities by Russian special services.” ● The main target of the raids, the Kiev Monastery of the Caves, was built in 1051 and is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But it wasn’t the only church affected – Kiev regime forces also hit the monastery in Korets on Tuesday, alongside several other Ukrainian Orthodox Churches in the region.
