Truly amazing. I assume the takeaway is supposed to be “Those Ukrainian Nazis attacked the true cross! Right before Good Friday!”
This story retires the trophy.
Putin used to hang with some Orthodox mystic who did weird consecrations on his planes, offices, meeting rooms etc.
I’ve read he is very “religious” and symbolism is real to him.
Whether the story is true or not, it sounds like something he’d convince his peasant 50-IQish conscripts to believe.
