The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, said that the unity of Donbas and Russia is a "sacred reality", and today's Donbas is an "outpost of the Russian world." He said this at a meeting with children who came to Moscow from the occupied parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the press service of the Russian Orthodox Church reported.
According to the Patriarch, Donbas ended up outside Russia because of the stupidity, betrayal and recklessness of the authorities.
“It is wonderful that Russia stood up for the interests of Donbas and did not allow the plans our opponents had,” said the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
At the same time, he called on the youth of Donbas to continue the "heroic tradition" of defending their homeland.
As reported by the UOJ, Patriarch Kirill banned a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church from the priesthood for replacing the word “victory” with “peace” in prayer.
