In particular, Naryshkin pointed out that, according to information coming in, "the globalist elites, known for their habit of appropriating other people's assets, are stepping up their efforts to plunder Ukraine."
"Whereas earlier it was about financial and material resources, including grain and fertile soil, now they are reaching for Orthodox sanctuaries located on Ukrainian territory," Naryshkin said.
"According to the SVR, an agreement has been reached between the Kiev authorities and UNESCO on the removal of Christian valuables, including holy relics, from the territory of Kiev Pechersk Lavra and their subsequent transfer to museums in Italy, France, Germany and the Vatican under the pretext of 'saving them from Russian missile attacks’," the statement reads. By now, the SVR press office noted, an inventory of church property has been taken and financial resources have been allocated to transport the items to Europe. Vehicles have been prepared. Some of them are equipped with refrigeration units.
