The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has been actively conducting searches and detaining individuals in Kyiv and Zaporizhzhia. On May 1, SBU officers searched the residence of Metropolitan Luke (Andrii Kovalenko) of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, suspected of inciting religious hatred. Additionally, residents in Kyiv's Shevchenkovsky district were subject to 'planned counterintelligence activities' with possible movement restrictions. The SBU also detained Kyiv residents for allegedly spreading pro-Russian disinformation through fake official accounts. Ukrayinska Pravda reported these incidents, noting the involvement of Metropolitan Luke of the UOC Zaporizhzhia and Melitopol.
