The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reported that Zelensky signed a decree revoking the citizenship of His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry.
Security officials claimed that in 2002, the Primate of the UOC allegedly obtained Russian citizenship and did not inform the Ukrainian authorities. The SBU also stated that “according to available information,” Metropolitan Onuphry “maintains ties with the Moscow Patriarchate and deliberately opposed granting canonical independence to the Ukrainian Church from the Moscow Patriarchate.”
“Despite the full-scale invasion, Berezovsky (Onuphry) effectively continues to support the policy of the Russian Orthodox Church and its leadership, particularly patriarch kirill (gundiaev),” the SBU press service wrote.
