Tymchuk: ROC-FSB trying to create "spiritual DNR" in Odessa
Coordinator of the “Information Resistance” group Dmitry Tymchuk
After autocephaly is granted to the Church in Ukraine, these attempts will not cease but be made with tripled energy, MP Dmitry Tymchuk, the coordinator of the “Information Resistance” group, wrote on his Facebook page.
“We pay special attention to Kharkov and Odessa regions, as they are priority targets for the Russian world adherents. I have to state that the situation in these regions is different: the risks in Odessa are much higher,” the people’s deputy said.
According to him, "the Russian side is trying to use the Odessa region as an instigator of provocations, which then should cause a chain reaction throughout the country".
“Understanding that the strategic battle for Ukraine is lost, the ROC-FSB is trying to create a base for “spiritual DNR” in Odessa. The local political environment, in which the regional governor is not yet an adequate counterweight to either the extremely odious mayor of Odessa Trukhanov or local feudal lords, such as Kivalov, for example, contributes to that. In many ways, for this reason mobile teams are sent from Kiev to conduct serious operations against crime and separatists in Odessa,” Tymchuk added.
“That is, there is considerable potential for growth, although Tomos opponents still have a relative majority,” he admitted.
Earlier, the “Information Resistance” has group published an article entitled “Novichok Smelled in Phanar: Patriarch Bartholomew ignored the suspicious “drink” from the RF Federal Guard Service (FSO)”, which stated that the FSB officers tried to poison the Patriarch of Constantinople. The information turned out to be a fake.
As the UOJ reported, Dmitry Tymchuk, a people's deputy and the coordinator of the “Information Resistance” group, published information that Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia flatly refused to fly to meet with Patriarch Bartholomew.
