DISINFO: Satanists, headed by Antichrist Zelenskyy, want to destroy Russia, its culture and Orthodox Christianity
SUMMARY
There is a war going on. What Russia calls a special military operation, the West overtly calls a war against Russia. The West will be giving (Ukraine) everything it can in order to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. It means the destruction of the Russian Federation, Russian culture, the Russian people and Orthodoxy. Satanists, led by the devil Zelenskyy, are openly fighting against it. He is the absolute Antichrist.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation claim about the moral decadence of the West and Russia’s moral superiority over it. This claim was made in the context of the passing of Ukrainian legislation prohibiting the activities of the Russian Orthodox Church and affiliated organisations in Ukraine.
The recently adopted Ukrainian law is not aimed against the Christian Faith. It only targets the activities of the Moscow-based Russian Orthodox Church with tight links to the Kremlin and the so-called Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC).
Contrary to what Russian propagandists claim, the UOC is a branch of the Russian Orthodox Church rather than an independent church like all other Orthodox churches. The UOC was a key influence tool for Moscow in Ukraine and its clergy voiced its full support for the Russian war on Ukraine including siding closely with Putin. It was blessing Russian soldiers and Russian guns, offering them support and denying Ukrainian statehood. Some of its priests were disclosing the positions of Ukrainian troops or giving personal information about Ukrainian patriots in occupied territories, many of whom were later captured and murdered.
A strategic defeat of the Russian Federation does not mean its destruction. Ukraine's partners are not striving to destroy Russia as a state or annihilate its citizens or culture. Leaders of Western countries have repeatedly said they are not striving for the collapse of Russia. US President Joe Biden, speaking in Warsaw in February 2023, addressed Russian citizens, assuring them that the US does not seek to destroy or control Russia. French President Macron stated in February 2023 that ‘Russia must be defeated but not crushed.’
