A journalist of the OCU and creator of fake news about the UOC, Sonya Koshkina, stated that it was under the leadership of Maliuk that the SBU began actions to persecute the UOC,

"It was under Vasyl Maliuk that the SBU first (!) started driving out Moscow devils under the guise of the cross. It was under him that this agency was half-jokingly called the Service of God). It all started when he was acting head," Koshkina wrote.

She recalled that Maliuk dismissed one of the SBU employees in the Kyiv region who opposed the forced transfers of UOC communities to the OCU. "Then there was the Lavra. Searches among the most ardent lovers of the Russian world, suspicions against them, and justified court verdicts," Koshkina wrote. "Therefore, to Vasyl Maliuk – respect, support, and further success in the fight against the devils."

On this topic Koshkina, fined for lying about UOC: The OCU's order is a talisman for me

Let us recall, Koshkina is the creator of the infamous fake about Archimandrite Nikita (Storozhuk), the future bishop of Ivano-Frankivsk. Koshkina published photographs of the clergyman during SBU searches at the eparchial administration of the Chernivtsi Eparchy in Chernivtsi. The fact that Koshkina had these photos may indicate direct ties of the journalist with the leadership of the Security Service of Ukraine.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that the Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv, by its decision, obliged Koshkina (real surname – Vasylenko) to refute the lies and dirty slander against Bishop Nikita of Ivano-Frankivsk, apologize to him, and pay more than 30 thousand for moral damage.
