Kremlin’s agent, who is on US sanctions list, takes floor at Monastic Congress of UOC-MP

MP Andriy Derkach, who was included in the sanctions list by the United States as an active agent of the Kremlin, spoke from the rostrum of the "Monastic Congress" of the UOC-MP in Pochayiv.

Spokesman of the OCU, Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya) wrote about it on Facebook.

"Taking the floor at the Pochayiv's "Monastic Congress" of the MP in Ukraine was MP Derkach. According to media reports, he is a certified specialist in conducting meetings with agents by the FSB Academy. The US government is included in the sanctions list as an "active Russian agent".

As Dmitry Kiselyov, a luminary of Putin's propaganda, likes to say: "Is it a coincidence? I don't think so.”

P.S. On Facebook, I encountered the pun "UOC-FSB". Funny? It is no longer funny in the Crimea and Donbas…

P.P.S. In fact, it is absurd to consider every MP servant as an agent. Just as in the USSR, not all clergymen were KGB agents. However, it is enough to read archival materials and historical studies about the work of the Kremlin's intelligence in the church environment to understand that it was enough for the authorities to control key figures so that they would allegedly "from themselves" direct events in the necessary direction. Although the USSR collapsed, the system of interaction between the MP and the Kremlin's special services has not dissolved," Bishop Yevstratiy wrote.
