Because they banned Russian orthodox church and lately they persecuted the Ukrainian orthodox church and jailed their priests for not supporting the Ukro military. Also , they killed a Russian soldier by burning him alive on the cross.
I’m skeptical of that claim. I won’t say that the burning didn’t happen, and I’m extremely hesitant to take even a hint of truth or credulity from western media. But it seems like that video is from back in 2015, rather than the current conflict in 2022.
Of course the overall conflict dates back many decades, and the UkraNazi coup and Donbass shelling started years ago and never stopped and this conflict basically continued to this day, but I’m hesitant to say that the story of Ukrainians burning a Russian soldier on a cross happened recently.
But still, it was a horrific event, no matter what year.
oh yes the video is old , I am just saying about the horrific incidents for which they are deemed as a cult or threat in Russia , like hanging a pregnant woman along with her husband and stripping off a Russian girl then severely beating her , probably she got raped.Also , I guess they severed ties with Russian orthodox church in 2015-16 only
I’m not going to ask for footage, and I’m not doubting you necessarily, but do you have a source? This would be great ammo against neo-liberal lies.
