"Many Priests from the Moscow Obedience Orthodox Church Acted as Informants for the Kremlin"

SIC Notícias30 August 2026 at 16:55

Many priests from the Moscow Obedience Orthodox Church acted as informants for the Kremlin, according to information referenced in the program. This revelation comes in a context of significant geopolitical tensions.

The East West program this week dedicated much of its time to the situation in Ukraine, focusing particularly on the intense Russian attacks on Kiev and surrounding areas, which occurred over the past five days. The escalation of violence in the region was one of the central themes of the broadcast.

The secret visit of CIA Director John Radcliffe to Moscow was another topic under analysis. This trip coincided with a series of significant military events, raising questions about the timing and purpose of the visit.

The commentary on the most important events in international politics was made by Nuno Rogeiro, who analyzed the implications of these developments for the global geopolitical scenario.
