The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) prevented an attempt by Russian intelligence to recruit a Ukrainian citizen, offering a US$2,000 reward, to set on fire a temple of what was until recently called the Moscow Patriarchate, aiming to sow tensions and discord on religious grounds, provoking further destabilization. According to the SBU press service, security operatives revealed that Russian intelligence and Moscow-controlled "security services in the occupied parts of Donbas had been working to recruit Ukrainian nationals who would commit arson attacks on temples operated by Orthodox priests of the former UOC-MP.
The targeted Ukrainian was promised to receive the reward on his bank account once he provided a video proving he had done the job.
The SBU shared an intercepted instruction the Russian intelligence agency drew up for the potential executioner of the crime: “Draw any of the proposed symbols at the site; start shooting a video, shoot in darkness, and then show the moment the fire starts. Shoot the church burning for 10 seconds. You don't need to burn it to the ground. The main thing is that the church must start burn. Any of them. Whatever you choose. Be sure it's MOSCOW PATRIARCHATE. Going on the job, grab a phone WITHOUT A SIM-CARD; when shooting, put the phone in airplane mode so that it doesn't show up on some Wi-Fi."
The SBU press center noted that the Security Service of Ukraine had prevented the said attempt to attract the Ukrainian man.
“However, the foreign intelligence service continues its recruiting attempts. In this regard, the Security Service of Ukraine calls on citizens to be vigilant and, if they receive such “orders”, immediately inform the security service," the report reads.

Pardon me if I don’t take articles posted by someone claiming to be Conoleezza’s protoge that link to websites no one has ever heard of as anything more sucker’s bait from neocons.
You believe this story? Really?
If you can’t believe Ukrainian bloggers, who CAN you believe?
It was an absolutely fatal mistake for Ukraine to give up the nukes that were on its soil. Absolutely fatal.
Yes I do believe this story.
Why do all the Putin lovers on this board have such filthy and vulgar use of language? Unian is the main English source for Ukraine related news. Each website has its own biases. I post from RT (Russia Today) and Sputnik sometimes as well.
“that link to websites no one has ever heard of __
You mean that YOU have never heard of———lots of others have.
Don’t display your ignorance.

Hello Planned Parenthood, are you listening?
I don’t buy it. They want the churches BACK.
Where’s the filthy language?
“” “” Unian is the main English source for Ukraine related news.”” “”
Propaganda to put it simple. Every single thing gone wrong Ukraine is a work of Russian intelligence. /s
They don’t care about this particular church. They want scandal in the news. There is a current court case in Poland, where a German neo-nazi journalist and a frequent talking head in Russia Today paid two Polish nutcases to travel to Ukraine and set fire to Hungarian Cultural Center building.
