MP of Ukraine Artem Dmytruk commented on the handing of the SBU suspicion to Metropolitan Arseny of Sviatohirsk.

Dmytruk wrote in his Telegram channel, "It's ridiculous!" and added, "Metropolitan Arseny is suspected of allegedly covertly disclosing the addresses of Ukrainian Armed Forces checkpoints during a liturgy, and then the video from the service was published online, thereby exposing the military positions."

"Yes, under cameras, in the presence of hundreds of believers, for some reason, precisely during the liturgy, an entire hierarch and the Lavra's superior decided to leak positions. And covertly at that," Dmytruk wrote.

Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the SBU had reported suspicion towards Metropolitan Arseny.
