Russian Orthodox Church properties in Czechia transferred to Hungarian diocese, likely due to fear of sanctions

A Czech investigative journalist found that the ownership of a Russian Orthodox Church in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, has been transferred to the Hungarian Orthodox Diocese, amidst fears of asset freezing in the Czech Republic. The church belonged to the Czech diocese until the transfer. The transfer is related to the Russian church's close ties to Putin and concerns about sanctions.
