No, Christendom doesn’t. Putin is an atheist thug who plays gullible jackasses like a harp, or rather, gets them to (ahem) play themselves.

They are in physical danger while carrying the fight to the jihadists sponsored by Washington D.C., Ankara and Riyadh. Accordingly, intercessory prayers on their behalf while they preserve and defend innocent lives and the notion of national sovereignty are appropriate.
