Evidence

Quotes

Tallinn has decided to stop renting office space to the Estonian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (MPEÕK). The MPEÕK will have to vacate its offices on Pikk tänav at the end of July.

The city government said the decision was made in response to the MPEÕK’s continued loyalty to the Moscow Patriarchate, which has openly supported Russia's war in Ukraine.

Deputy Mayor Kaarel Oja said... '[t]he city cannot support organizations that through their activities directly or indirectly support the Kremlin's imperialist policy.'
