Orthodox cleric endorses Russia's 'spiritual war' in Ukraine

Moscow Patriarch Kirill has repeatedly supported Russia's attack on Ukraine in the past. He has even spoken about a fight against globalisation and Satanism, which he claims the West is afflicted by. Now, another Orthodox cleric is expressing positive views on the war, claiming that "every normal chap wants to be on the front line."

Many of the reports disseminated by Russian media and authorities are likely not true. Such reports may be part of an information warfare effort by the Russian Federation.

Every normal chap who loves his country would want to be on the front line in Ukraine because that is where the nation's fate is decided – quotes "Moscow Times," Metropolitan Yevgeny Kulberg of Yekaterinburg and Verkhoturye.

The words of the Russian Orthodox Church representative were spoken during the opening of an exhibition dedicated to the liberation of Sudzha in the Kursk region. As the media adds, such displays are created because not every lad can participate in the war.

In Yekaterinburg, next to the Church on the Blood, a model of a pipe was installed, through which Russian soldiers were to penetrate the Ukrainian army's rear – reports "Moscow Times." The Metropolitan compared this installation to the tank monuments from the Second World War, and the pipe itself to David's sling.

Kulberg, in line with Patriarch Kirill's stance, has repeatedly backed the war efforts, emphasising the need for spiritual victory over the enemy.

Patriarch Kirill himself, in his book, called for the mobilisation of the church alongside Russia's military and political forces. He also called for prayers for President Vladimir Putin and the soldiers fighting in Ukraine. Kirill assured that Russia is a peace-loving country, although he admitted that humanity cannot live without wars.

According to the foremost Orthodox cleric, the war in Ukraine is holy because Russia is protecting the world from the attack of globalisation and the victory of the West, which has succumbed to Satanism.
