Over 20 priests with Moscow-run church in Ukraine hd Russian passports – journalists

That’s according to an investigation by Ukrainian Pravda journalist Mykhailo Tkach, Ukrinform reports.

"According to an extract from the Rospassport system, Onufr obtained a Russian passport in Moscow on March 20, 2002. A year later, on June 23, 2003, he also received a Russian passport for foreign travel. And it wasn’t his first one. The cleric had received his previous one in Moscow back in 1998. This means Onufr had obtained Russian citizenship much earlier than in 2002," the report reads.
