The “Ukrainian” identity was promoted by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and especially by Austria-Hungary, both Roman Catholic-dominated states. The Soros-funded mainly West Ukrainian Orangies (many of whom are Catholic) yearn for a new Austrian Empire under the EU.
Ukraine is ORTHODOX, as are Russia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. and a growing number of Americans. We shall celebrate the Orthodox patron Saint of America thus coming Friday.
Neither Soros, nor obama, nor the corrupt bureaucrats of Brussels, nor the mullahs can stop the resurgence of Christian Orthodoxy, or of Orthodox Christian culture and civilization!!!!
