In Ukraine they started talking about the threat of a global civil war
Providing Ukraine with a tomos of autocephaly and giving official status to the schismatics of the UOC of the Kyiv Patriarchate will mark the beginning of a global civil war in the country.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Yevgeny Murayev announced this on the air of the Capital internet channel, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to the politician, in every Ukrainian village there will be believers who will be ready to defend their religious communities with arms in hand.
“What is a tomos? That is, one of the churches will be recognized as correct, and the second - the occupier church. This means a religious conflict, and this conflict is no longer in the east of the country. It will be in every village of Ukraine, in every city, because there are believers who will defend their faith, their church and, perhaps, there will be bloodshed. If so, it will be a global civil war. This is a conflict throughout the entire country,” Muraev said.
Muraev previously stated that Ukraine's European neighbors could take advantage of the impending religious unrest to satisfy their territorial ambitions.
As Ridus reported , Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, during his speech in the Verkhovna Rada, declared the "fall of Russia's Third Rome," viewing the expected recognition of an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Patriarchate of Constantinople as a defeat for Moscow on the historical and ideological front.
