Even after all the atrocities committed in Ukraine, the Russians are convinced that one day, Ukraine will forgive them. Instead, not only Ukrainian citizens, but also spiritual leaders have the opposite opinion, lb.ua writes.
Metropolitan Epifaniy noted, in which case the Russians can really count on forgiveness. So far, they have not even set out on this path.
The OCU Primate stressed that forgiveness implies repentance, understanding of the evil done and a sincere desire to correct what has been done. Instead, the Russians make no such steps.
“Do not avenge yourself, my dear, but give way to God’s wrath.” Therefore, we must forgive those who repent of what they have done. And since there is no repentance, we give way to God’s will,” said Epifaniy.
