Head of Ukrainian Orthodox Church Kiev Patriarchate Filaret
"We celebrate this year the Pascha of Christ in difficult conditions. It reminds some of Calvary. Because people suffer and in the Crimea, people suffer and in the eastern regions of Ukraine," said Filaret. According to the Patriarch, Ukraine sympathize with virtually the entire world.
"Because we tolerate aggression on the part of the brotherly Russia. We are told that "we love you", and at the same time hate us and win," said the Patriarch.
According to Filaret, Ukraine must recover.
"After the resurrection of Golgotha was, is, will be, and the resurrection. Because God is on our side. Truth is with us, and where there is true-there is God and where God is there to victory," the statement says.

Patriarch Filaret said: "Against our peace-loving nation, which voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons, there has been aggression, there has been injustice... A country which guaranteed the integrity and inviolability of our territory has committed aggression. God cannot be on the side of evil, so the enemy of the Ukrainian people is condemned to defeat."
"Lord, help us resurrect Ukraine."
Putin should wear that belt buckle.

I think it would be more in vogue in this circle.

Psalm 144 The comparison made of The Patriarch of The Ukrainian Orthodox Church to Hiler is ridiculous and abhorrent.
Rest assured that you’ll have to turn the other cheek a lot if you’re going to talk with Putinistas on FReeRepublic.
Considering how the Russians have always treated the Ukrainians and still are it’s not surprising that some of them would prefer the NAZIS to the Russian commies. Putin himself is, after all, an autocrat with fascist tendencies using arguments similar to Hitler’s and Russian chauvinism to advance his cause. But unlike Hitler, Putin likes wealth and has stolen enough from the Russians to be possibly the richest man in the world.
