Details: Law enforcement officers found libraries containing pro-Kremlin literature, materials praising the aggressor country, and a large amount of cash in various currencies, including Russian roubles, on the territory of the diocese.

Even Russian-issued field rations were being stored in one of the churches. A monk holding a Russian passport was also discovered there. The security forces are now investigating whether he was involved in intelligence and subversive activities for the Russian secret services.

All the materials seized have been sent for expert examination so that further procedural action may be taken.
