On Sunday February 27, 2022, three days after the arrival of Russian troops in Ukraine, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow called
those who fight against the historical unity of Russia and Ukraine "
forces of evil ".
Focus in this program on the justification of this war by the history of Russian Orthodoxy born in the Rus' of Kiev in 988 with the baptism of Vladimir The Great.
The Patriarch of Moscow did not digest in 2019 the autonomy of the Autocephalous Church of Ukraine when it placed itself under the authority of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, thus ending several centuries of Russian tutelage .
