As the UOJ reported, on June 19, officers of the Security Service of Ukraine in Cherkasy conducted another search in the house where Metropolitan Theodosiy resides. According to the hierarch’s Telegram channel, the formal basis for the fourth search was a criminal case initiated due to his sermon for one of the persecuted communities of Cherkasy, but the real reason, in his opinion, is his refusal to be exchanged as a "prisoner of war".
