The situation in which millions of Orthodox believers in Ukraine find themselves is of particular concern to the ROC. And this is the result of the propaganda war against Russia, the result of US actions in Ukraine. This was stated by the chairman of the department for external church relations, Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, according to Vesti.
“Ukraine has become a bone of contention,” the hierarch stated.
The Russian Orthodox Church is praying for overcoming the Ukrainian schism, he concluded. The hierarch believes that it is necessary to do everything possible to prevent further escalation of tension.
