A priest of the Moscow-affiliated church walked the streets of Odesa in his cassock, marking targets on Google Maps for Russian missiles. One of those targets was hit twice — the second strike timed for when rescuers arrived. Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) counterintelligence has detained a cleric of a parish of the Moscow Patriarchate church (UOC-MP) in Odesa, who directed a double missile strike on the city in March 2024. The SBU announced the arrest on May 27. What he did Using coordinates the priest provided, Russian forces attacked a recreational area of the port city with two "Iskander-M" ballistic missiles. "The first hit residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure in the regional centre, where, in the corrector's opinion, military personnel might have been. The second strike hit the same location when emergency services arrived at the scene." A double-tap strike — the second missile aimed specifically at the rescuers, medics, and first responders who rushed in after the first. This is a deliberate tactic designed to kill the people who come to save the wounded. After the strike, the agent reported the results to Russian military intelligence (GRU) and went to ground to avoid detection. SBU officers established his involvement and detained him at his residence. How he was recruited The investigation found that the cleric came to Russia's attention when he posted pro-Kremlin comments in Telegram channels. After being recruited, the priest — without removing his church cassock — walked the city to mark the geolocations of potential "targets" on Google Maps. He passed the collected information to a chat-bot administered by a traitor, Serhiy Lebedev (alias "Lokhmatyi"), who is hiding in Donetsk and works for Russian military intelligence. What else he betrayed The agent also passed the enemy: 🔴 Coordinates of Ukrainian air defence forces protecting Odesa's airspace during Russian missile attacks 🔴 Information about an electrical substation near Odesa, including its protection systems — and, after a Russian strike on the energy facility, a damage report During searches, officers seized the smartphone he used to collect intelligence and contact the GRU. SBU investigators have charged him under Part 2, Article 111 of Ukraine's Criminal Code — high treason committed under martial law. He is in custody without the right to bail and faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property. Why this matters This case is a clean illustration of how Russia weaponises and uses the Moscow Patriarchate church inside Ukraine. A man in a cassock, trusted by his community, used that trust and that freedom of movement to mark Ukrainian homes for ballistic missiles — and to help target the air defence systems protecting the city's civilians. It is also why Ukraine's scrutiny of the Moscow-affiliated church is a security matter, not a religious one. The cassock here was not a symbol of faith. It was operational cover for an agent of Russian military intelligence. — Source: Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), May 27, 2026 #Ukraine #Odesa #SBU #RussiaWarCrimes #UkraineWillWin #UAF
