The cleric of the church, which previously recognized membership of the moscow patriarchate, was stopped by border guards for inspection at the entrance to Kyiv.

A request for prayer for an orphan-occupier who was crucified and burned alive - propaganda of this content and other russian propaganda were found in the priest's smartphone. "Batiushka" also had printed products that justify the spiritual suffering of the "russian man", against whom the whole world will rise - "stigmatized" and "angry". In the mobile phone of a 45-year-old native of Chernihiv Oblast, border guards found a lot of content with symbols of the aggressor country, its proxy formations in the occupied territories of Ukraine, and the communist totalitarian regime.

There were also photos of military equipment in his phone gallery, but the owner of the device could not explain where they came from. Also, many channels and profiles with anti-Ukrainian content and numbers of russian operators were found in the priest's subscriptions and in his phone book.

The priest was handed over to the State Security Service for further confession.
