Metropolitan Pavlo, a senior member of the clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, has been accused of being involved in subversive activities against Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) announced on Oct. 20.
During the investigation of treason committed by former Ukrainian high-ranking officials in the interests of Russia by using violence against Euromaidan participants, law enforcement officers have exposed a former personnel intelligence officer who justifies the aggression of the Russian Federation and denies the existence of Ukraine and its people.
A top Russian security official said in an article published on Friday that Moscow had "neutralised" hundreds of foreign spies in recent years. "In recent years, hundreds of employees of foreign intelligence services, as well as other persons involved in organising intelligence and subversive activities against our country and our strategic partners, have been identified and neutralised". Patrushev, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is a former director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) and is seen as a key advocate of hardline, hawkish policies within the Kremlin.
Washington will easily send the troops of other alliance [NATO] member countries to be slaughtered without risking the lives of its military, says Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev.
