  1. NATO is not a defensive alliance. They illegally bombed Yugoslavia (direct violation of the UN Charter). We must never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc.

  6. The funny thing is that Russia will be celebrating the same thing. So are they condoning the killing of fellow human beings?

  7. it's not Ukrainian Easter anymore – they celebrate Catholic Christmas now, so they should take Catholic Easter as well – they are not Orthodox anymore

    ( edit : you can't be just little bit pregnant – they've already sold their Slav soul to Vatican, who btw plays great role in this conflict, in white gloves as usual…it's obvious to anyone with even basic knowledge of history … with so many examples … as let's say like Croats … the same story for centuries for Vatican to move as East as possible to get Slavs to bow them )

  8. What if you would actually invite Russia to your peace conference and see what they want to offer…. You still dont have to accept it though, but it would maybe boost morale, that you actually dont want to send Ukrainians into the meatgrinder before you tried everything else.

  12. Yet Zelenskiy who is not Orthodox has suppressed the Orthodox Church! Changing the real traditional Orthodox date of Christmas!

  14. Lets be real. If some politicians wanted Ukraine to win they wouldn't have given them 2 times more weapons than Russia has. Two years later its just enough for life support.

  15. So, as I remeber the president of Ukraine moved Christmas from Jan 7 to Dec 25. This implies moving from the old calendar to Gregorian calendar. My question is then why the celebrations of Easter in Ukraine are happening on May 5 but not Mar 31?

  16. The people shown during first half of video are not even Orthodox (clergy at least). They're definitely Uniates.

  22. Pacea Iubirea Dragostea Este De La Dumnezeu Tatăl Ceresc Și Războiul Este De La Satana Și Le Întunecă Mințile Și Bani Și Puterea Este Pentru Ei Și Viitorul Copiilor Nu-i Interesează Și Poporul Suferă Iartăi Doamne Că Nu Știu Ce Fac Doamne ajută la toată lumea și la copiii noștri și la nepoțiii noștri amin Hristos A Înviat
