(1/8) In Sweden, nuns from the St. Elisabeth Convent, originally based in Belarus, embedded in 20 churches, worked for Russian intelligence and raised funds for the Russian army while posing as a charity.
(2/8) This exposure forced the Swedish Church to issue an official warning to other Catholic communities, stating that nuns of the St. Elisabeth Monastery direct their earnings toward supporting Russian nationalism and Moscow’s aggression against Ukraine, while maintaining close ties to the GRU.
In Sweden, those nuns became known as the “Z-nuns.”

Thus proceeds from the sales were channelled directly towards supporting Russia's war effort.
