Michael Oiermo
Michael Oiermo is a church leader in Teby, Sweden, who has recently faced criticism for inviting nuns from the Belarusian St. Elizabeth Monastery to his parish during the Christmas season. The Swedish Church has linked these nuns to the Russian military intelligence agency, GRU, and raised concerns about their involvement in supporting the Russian side in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Despite the backlash, Oiermo defended his decision, emphasizing the importance of maintaining relations with churches in non-democratic countries, while acknowledging the potential for the nuns to be perceived as propaganda tools.
