Russia and Ukraine Conflict

Russia and Ukraine originated from the same Christian kingdom in the 10th century

Ukraine vowed to have their own independent Orthodox Church, and they wanted to separate from the Russian led churches

Kirill wants to see the Russian Orthodox Church spread throughout the world, and he believes Ukraine should be apart of the “Greater Russia.”

Russia said that the Church realizes that if someone, driven by a sense of duty and the need to honor his oath, stays loyal to his vocation and dies while carrying out his military duty, then he is, without any doubt, doing a deed that is equal to sacrifice.
