From Tass.com on Feb 26, 2020:

[Elsewhere I saw that the delivery to the ship had been made on Feb 26, 2022…perhaps a mistake]

SEVASTOPL, February 26. /TASS/. A Christian relic, a piece of the True Cross on which the believers say Jesus Christ was crucified would be kept at the Moskva missile cruiser, the Black Sea fleet flagship, archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church’s Sevastopol District Sergiy Khalyuta told TASS.

He explained that the relic is a wood chip only several millimeters long. It is embedded into a 19th century metal cross, which, in turn, is stored in a special reliquary.

“This relic used to belong to a Catholic church, but was acquired by anonymous patrons of arts, and it was their will to send the relic to the [Black Sea] fleet. The Moskva cruiser has an onboard chapel, where services take place,” Khalyuta said.”

Now why would anyone accept a supposed religious relic from a Church that has aligned itself against Russia? That is, apart from the fact that it is likely not a holy relic at all, coming from the current Catholic church led by Francis, but something pagan and abominable that is embedded in the metal cross.

Actually, my cynical mind wonders if this “relic” is a chip of some kind that can help guide or pinpoint a detonation or even cause a detonation?

Why would anyone accept such a thing, given that heretic Francis announced his “consecration” of both Ukraine and Russia to Pachamama on Purim and the consecration itself is invalid? Some digging is warranted into Khalyuta, [apparently a Putin appointment but not historically very well-versed?] who accepted this unknown relic and into the anonymous [of course they would be anonymous] donors, who so fortuitously gifted this to the ship, preying on the piety of crew.

Naturally, the media is using this to score a second propaganda coup against Russia, but the laugh is on them…

Now I see this:

Amidst the relentless military aggression by Kremlin troops in Ukraine, a secret monitoring group of NATO comprising officials of the Romanian PMC has commenced work in Odessa. A source in the Russian law enforcement agency citing informants in the Ukrainian troops confirmed the development to RIA Novosti. This comes at a time when the Russian military action against Ukraine continues for day 48 with visuals of deaths and destruction in the war-torn nation surfaced recently sending jolts across global powers.

The Russian law enforcement agency’s interlocutor has claimed the presence of a secret base of the NATO monitoring group in one of the suburbs of Odessa, RIA Novosti reported. The secret base of the NATO monitoring group has equipment that allows identifying the “exact coordinates of any ship in the Black Sea within a radius of up to 200 kilometres.” According to the agency’s interlocutor, the specialists in the monitoring group include employees of Romanian PMC Nordstarsupport Group.
