People in camouflage who blocked the Korets Convent of the UOC in the morning of 6 October turned out to be SBU officers, reports “Rivne Vechirne”.

In a comment to journalists, the spokesperson for the Security Service of the Rivne region, Anna Svintsytska-Savchuk, said that "security measures" were carried out on the territory of the convent to "prevent it from being used as a cell of the 'Russian world'".

She said that law enforcers were checking the premises of the convent for the use of the premises "to harbour subversive and intelligence groups, foreign citizens, storage of weapons and prohibited things", as well as "checking persons for their involvement in illegal activities to the detriment of the state sovereignty of Ukraine".

The SBU spokesperson assured: "In its activities, the SBU adheres to the principle of impartiality to any religious denomination."

As reported, the SBU threatened the Metropolitan of Cherkasy with jail.
