Ukraine’s leader believes seizing the historic Kiev Pechersk Lavra will strengthen “spiritual independence”
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has endorsed the order to expel monks of the canonical Orthodox church from the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, insinuating they were agents of Russia. Moscow has called on all Christian churches, as well as the UN and other international organizations, to respond to the “outrageous” decision.

This is hardly the first blow the nationalist extremists in Ukraine who put Zelensky in power had thrown at Russian orthodox in Ukraine
It’s a significant part of the conflict from Maiden forward
Even before
They’d like Ukraine purified religiously
nationalist extremist?
Wow, the nation being invaded by Russia? They just want religions, not Russian fifth columnists.
I want Russia to retrieve Kiev and relive her Golden age.
Can they do that now that the people aren’t slaves?
Exactly right.
Of course you do. Transnistria (walk the lovely streets of Stalinist Tiraspol, lol!) would be an excellent predictive template of just how that would turn out for the country.
Q: Why do you trust in the Lord per your FR profile or write biblical quotes and then talk that way of another human being who is in our midst in a public forum, about another FReeper? Have you no shame? I guess not.
Speak the truth. There are people who seem to want war which will lead to deaths of many. They appear to not see the last 9 years of why this is all occurring and who is causing it.
......I struggle over how so many Orthodox jurisdictions—including my own—are promoting “stand with Ukraine”.
Pray for me, the sinner......
The OCA prays to stand with “Metropolitan Onufriy and the suffering people of Ukraine”. But Dictator Zelensky has banned Onufriy’s Church!! So the OCA is at least trying to be on the right side!
The Serbian Orthodox Church just prays for peace, as I—a sinner—also do!!!!
Lord save these poor monastics—from a historic monastery of Orthodoxy!!!!
So you support the mass atrocities that occurred last year in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kramatorsk, etc? Are you neutral, or do you just take the Russian side? Very curious on this point.
Their treatment of the Russian church in Ukraine which is only one facet of the separatist gripes since Maiden and even before is but one reason or excuse if you prefer for the Russian invasion
That’s undeniable
There is a schism between uke and Russian orthodox
It may have preexisted this conflict
Im ignorant of the history pre run up to Maiden admittedly
These Bandera nationalists today appear to tolerate Jews much better than their earlier incarnations which were worse than EINSATZGRUPPEN
Hopefully they tolerate Poles much better, too.
Those are facts
Ignored by the we must defeat the USSR gang here
Man these uke jews pick unusual friends
What you said about nearly all post collapse oligarchs being Jewish is true and many were apparatchiks who made their departments public companies and became billionaires overnight with USA investment bank help
Goldman Sachs in particular and others I think JP Morgan
They did same in Russia but Putin purged them and helped put pals in charge mostly not Jewish former resource or steel etc communist commissars
And friends that is not an insignificant part of this issue to globalists
Putin did it his way
True im sure you’ve seen the film
They burned that child alive in the hanging wicker basket
Ripped the child from that young moms womb and butchered it as she watched before garroting her
She had a mixed baby
And who says whites can’t be hard
Eastern Europe is sure where white culture shines
The "uncensored" one at that.
It is natural to restrict or ban organizations supporting and assisting the enemy that is invading you.
