This should be required watching in the U.S. by some of those Trump supporters, who claim to be Christian but support Russia. Russia is not supportive of Christianity. But it is about conquest, death and destruction.

Some points:
~IIRC Ukrainian Orthodox Churches were also targeted.
~Eastern Orthodoxy, primarily and especially in the States, has no issue with other traditions professing/confessing the Christian faith. We are not to judge. One of our esteemed theologians posited: "We know where the Orthodox Church is but not where it isn't." No judging!
~The video stated that Russia's intention is to 'convert' Ukraine to Orthodoxy, impose the Russian Orthodox Church upon all? It's obvious according to expert analyses that it's a political land grab [not my words], an aggrandizement, an attempt to restore the former glory of Russia.
~Plus, Zelenskyy being of Jewish heritage, chaps hide[s].

There's a word: fratricide which perhaps can apply to what was unleashed upon Ukraine and her people.
