Not defending Putin, but I wonder if the Church leader apposing him supports abortion and gay marriage? Yes I could look it up, just saying.

Nope. Bishop Filaret is strongly pro-life and against gay marriage:
Prior to the May 25, 2013 Kiev pride parade the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Filaret, stated that people supporting LGBT rights would be cursed

“We support Ukrainian statehood and fight the vices of society, such as alcoholism, drug addiction, homosexuality, abortion, and corruption.”
