Leaked correspondence shows Viktor Medvedchuk's political group planned joint projects in occupied territories with a pro-Russian Crimean priest.

An investigation by Ukrainian media outlets Slidstvo.Info and Toronto TV has uncovered correspondence between a pro-Russian priest in occupied Crimea and representatives of Viktor Medvedchuk’s political movement, "Other Ukraine."

According to leaked messages obtained by journalists, Dmitry Krotkov, a priest currently under investigation in Ukraine for aiding the Russian military, engaged in communications with the group in June 2024. The exchanges show that representatives of the movement, founded by the banned pro-Russian politician Medvedchuk, sought to collaborate with Krotkov on joint projects across Russian-occupied Ukrainian regions.

The revelations detail how Medvedchuk's exiled political network continues attempting to build influence inside occupied territories by coordinating directly with local religious figures aligned with Moscow.
