Tucker is the consummate propagandist - he, like Lucifer, can walk right past and otherwise ignore anything that doesn't lead his audience to the beliefs he intends. (The video doesn't support the broad claim in the video's banner image - but great way to rile people up!)
Consider that this is the same Bob Amsterdam writing with equal confidence about Trump and Russia's hold over him just several years ago (and whose first statement in the video is, contrary to Tucker's goal, "I supported the bill because it is the parishioners of our church who are on the front line right now and could use all the help they can get."):
Robert Amsterdam, a lawyer at international law firm Amsterdam & Partners with considerable experience in Russian affairs, told The Independent there was “no question” that US intelligence agencies and the FBI had information about Trump’s financial dealings with Russian entities prior to the 2016 US election.
“Trump’s relationship with Russia goes back many, many years. I’m sure the FBI was monitoring it,” he said.
Two parallel investigations into alleged ties between Trump associates and Russia during the 2016 presidential election as well as Russia’s alleged tampering with the election are being conducted in Congress at the moment.

Mr Amsterdam said one possible explanation is “that the FBI has an informer who was once part of the Trump organisation” and that information was not released in order to protect that source.

Um, if that was the case wouldn't they be using their fifth column on something more useful to Russia than harassing a Christian church? That claim really undermines his credibility regarding the scope and severity of his claims. The harassment isn't in doubt, since the religious clashes appear to predate the 2022 Russian invasion.
He is representing the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which had been a diocese of the Moscow Patriarchate, headed by Patriarch Kirill. Since the 1990s Kirill has been the main proponent of a ban on Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia, among other dubious holdings. Since 2014 he has been a big supporter of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Allegedly a former employee of the KGB. Not surprising, then, that Ukrainians would harass members of UOC, often unfairly.
