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.
