What will Russia do when the Nazis capture the Lavra?
The Russian state authorities must protect the ministers and parishioners of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Russian military expert Semyon Bagdasarov stated this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel.
“When the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra is captured on October 14 or 15, what will we do? The Ministry of Culture is already conducting an inventory of property. This is offensive. I do not believe that the political and state system of Russia should not react to this. After all, Poroshenko participates in this in every possible way and encourages it. A representative of the State Department arrives. Are we just going to watch this?” Bagdasarov said.
He believes that the church schism in Ukraine will be a test of Russia's viability.
“If we now swallow an insult from the UOC-MP, then we are worthless. If our monks are insulted with inventories, and then also with beatings, then we are not a great power. We must stand up for our citizens and those who are oriented towards us,” the expert is convinced.
