SBU finds no prohibited symbols in UOC cross procession to Pochaiv

An MP from the European Solidarity Volodymyr Aryev on his Facebook page said that the SBU did not find any provocative materials during the UOC cross procession from Kamyanets-Podilskyi to the Pochaiv Lavra.  

The SBU responded to his statement that "no items, symbols or provocative materials prohibited for circulation were found" and no facts of activity in support of Russia were established.

"No activities in support of the aggressor, no provocative materials (a portrait of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II) have been found in the Moscow Patriarchate's "procession". All is well. With respect, your SBU. This is how we live...,", says the deputy’s message.

As earlier reported, the cross procession to Pochaiv has passed, but the "patriots" are still waving their fists.
