The big question is why did AP run this story? What is the purpose. I guarantee it’s not because of the human interest angle. They are trying to either set some narrative, of feed in to an existing one.

I thought the same. My thought was they’re portraying Ukrainians as heathens, maybe so Russia attacking is more acceptable.

Similar headline could be run for Mardi Gras or Mexican Day of the Dead.

Of all the Countries in all the world, why the Ukraine and this festival? We all know what they're up to and it's laughable that the AP chooses to use a religious angle to drum up support for Putin.

It sounds to me like it’s a “ These people are heathen and need to be conquered so as to be brought into the Orthodox community “ kind of narrative.

While I agree with you….sometimes the AP guys have to file “something” every couple of days. They are fun pictures. It could be that simple.
