Metropolitan Evlogii commented on the Russian missile attack

Metropolitan Evlogii (Gutchenko) of Sumy and Akhtyrka called the Russian missile attack on the territory of Ukraine “a barbaric disregard for God’s commandment and a cynical war crime against civilians in Ukraine.”

“The Russian missile barrage on Monday, as a result of which ancient Kyiv, the cradle of the Baptism of Rus, as well as settlements throughout Ukraine, including the Sumy region, suffered, became another barbaric disregard for God’s commandment and a cynical war crime against civilians in Ukraine.  The people involved in these shellings took the lives of civilians in Kiev, becoming the heirs of the killer Cain.

These acts of diabolical cruelty surprise with their cynicism.  There is no and cannot be any justification for this barbarism!  Let no one deceive themselves: everyone who is involved in the bloody atrocities of the Russian army on the territory of Ukraine these days will share the unenviable fate of God’s punishment, ”wrote the hierarch.
