Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church: Sooner or later, both Kyiv and Odessa will be liberated
Persecution of Orthodoxy in Ukraine may continue if Russia limits itself to liberating four regions.
Metropolitan Kirill (Pokrovsky) of Stavropol and Nevinnomyssk, Chairman of the Synodal Department for Cooperation with the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies, stated this in an interview with the Spas television channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"We will certainly reunite. I am absolutely certain of it. When is another matter. To what extent will these Western Satanists retreat in Ukraine? If Zelenskyy or Poroshenko's junta remains in the territory other than Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and the Kherson region, the persecution of the Church may not end," said Bishop Kirill.
He admits that the Russian army could liberate both Odessa and Kyiv.
"The question will be where we'll stop in Ukraine, what decisions will be included in the peace agreement. To what extent will Ukraine be able to violate this peace agreement, like the Minsk agreements? To what extent will Europe be able to violate these agreements? Perhaps we'll approach Kyiv, or after the capture of Odessa and Mykolaiv, the British will have no chance at all in Ukraine. Then, of course, there will be an end to it," the metropolitan said.
