An investigation by journalists has revealed that the Russian Ministry of Emergencies is passing on information on deportees to the #clergy, who then find placements for them in churches, monasteries and convents.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of #Ukraine, the Ministry has been emailing reports on the occupied territories and deportations of Ukrainians to the Russian Orthodox #Church’s Synodal Department for Charitable #Work. The Ministry also provides the clergy with daily reports on the progress of #military action in the occupied territories of Ukraine and on the numbers of Ukrainians being forcibly deported, the routes by which they are being transported, and their time of arrival in #Russia.
The relevant emails from the Church’s charitable arm were forwarded to the journalists by hackers from #Anonymous and #DDoSecrets.
