Inaccurate information is sent from the accounts of Berdiansk Metropolitan Ephraim to the priests and bishops of the UOC. Several sources have already told the UOJ about this.
The messages that come to contacts on behalf of Metropolitan Ephraim are composed according to all the rules of church protocol, and written in such a way as to give the impression that they were written by the bishop. Attackers posing as a hierarch of the UOC are trying to find out information that can be used to the detriment of the Church.
As we managed to find out, the accounts of the metropolitan are hacked.
Earlier the UOJ wrote that, according to the priest of the UOC, "authorities" of the Russian Federation gave Metropolitan Ephraim of Berdiansk an ultimatum.
