This is a spectacularly dishonest article.

The author pulls the same trick twice — inserting a word that wasn’t there to twist the meaning of the original quote.

The line about sinners applies to all humanity according to Orthodox Christianity. But the journalist twist it to pretend the church leader thinks only Ukrainians are sinners. Well guess what most of the Ukrainians are Orthodox and most of those are affiliated with this religious leader who they falsely accuse of “wanting to destroy ukraine” and thinking they are uniquely a sinful people.

All the articles that use this line have exactly the same two misquotes and misattributions...

I don’t have any reason to defend Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, but I thought the same thing when I read this article earlier from another source. It’s dishonestly written with a lot of dark innuendo and selective quoting to make him sound as nefarious as possible.

Not surpising. Soros obama ajd co will do nothing short of imprisoning those who do not support a deep state ukraine they likely installed in 2014.
O wait, whoopi wants to return to that. So much for criminal reform. But all the Ukrainian boot lickers youre good.
I just dont support either side, unless this is a replace putin push.. we shpuld not be in the regime change biz, even for good n moral reasons.
The Ukrainian people are likely pawns in a corruptocratic nwo deep state. But, so are we. So we have work to do here.

Ok, so take out “Ukraine”, although it is clearly the target presently.

What’s left is certainly NOT Christianity as taught by Christ. It’s more like some of the worse parts of Islam.
