Kliment says that the sermon led by Crimean priests of the Moscow Patriarchate on the territory of Ukrainian Military bases can be described as “ideologically subversive work.” He described these events to Meduza: “When it was time, priests of the Moscow Patriarchate found themselves on the territory of Ukrainian military bases, preaching about love and friendship: ‘You do not have the right to shoot because before you stand your Russian brothers, and you will have their blood on your hands.’” Kliment says that “they openly worked to convince the soldiers to become deserters, and demoralized the Ukrainian army with their sermons.”
They talk about "magic rites" when their own priests claim to be able to say some mumbo jumbo over wafers and sips of wine, magically transubstantiating it into the body and blood of "Jesus Christ" so that their parishioners can "literally" cannibalize the flesh and blood of a 1st century Jewish victim of a Roman execution.
