On Friday, March 17, a journalist from Komsomolskaya Pravda invited the official representative of the Kremlin to discuss the ongoing attack on the Orthodox faith in Ukraine:
… – Dmitry Sergeevich, yesterday, March 16, in the evening there was another very disturbing statement from Patriarch Kirill. The Kiev regime has already launched an attack not only on the kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, but will take away from believers, in general, all churches and monasteries. Former Prime Minister, Chairman of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society Sergei Stepashin said in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda that a special military operation is also needed to save the Orthodox faith. Does this mean that our action is acquiring yet another meaning?
“Of course, the kyiv regime with these illegal actions, the intrusions into the church once again demonstrate its character,” Peskov said. – The same character that we are fighting, and the same character that we must stop as a consequence of the operation that is being carried out.
This (the illegal actions of the Kiev regime against the Orthodox Church in Ukraine. – AG) once again proves and shows that everything we do is absolutely correct.
Once again, I would like to express my deep regret that these illegal actions of the kyiv regime do not receive due condemnation from the world community.
We condemn this in the strongest terms.
– Thank you, Dmitry Sergeevich.
