Another portion of lies came from the “spiritual leader” of all Orthodox Russians and some Ukrainians belonging to the UOC-MP. Despite the occupation, war, invasion by the Russian Armed Forces and atrocities committed by the Russian military, Moscow Patriarch Cyril (Gundyaev) is firmly convinced that they can establish a peaceful life in Ukraine.
This was reported by the Spiritual Front of Ukraine with reference to Interfax.
“Despite the fact that hostilities are not over yet, it is necessary to work now to restore peaceful life in Ukraine and Donbas. I am confident that our prayers will be heard, and a long-awaited and lasting peace will be achieved. I have no doubt that Russia will make the necessary efforts to create this peaceful life, in which the main principle will be to preserve unity between peoples, based on mutual understanding,” Cyril said on May 17, addressing the Russian Federation Council.
It should be recalled that earlier, Cyril lied that the Russian Federation didn’t seek to capture any territories, while at the same time, the invaders were planning to hold a sham “referendum” in Kherson region on ceding from Ukraine. He also called for praying for Russia so that there would be no world war.
In early May, Moscow Patriarch Cyril lied that Russia “did not attack anyone.” He said that the Russian military had “chosen the right path,” and again voiced words of support for Putin’s aggression. In addition, after the atrocities of the Russian military were exposed in Bucha, Irpin, and other cities, Gundyaev said it was a “feat” to serve in the Russian army.
