Long overdue.
Patriarch Bartholomew said that the history of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine does not justify any intervention whatsoever by the Church of Russia. He added that Russia, as the one responsible for the current painful situation in Ukraine, is unable to solve the problem.
Patriarch Bartholomew has already been hacked numerous times and is receiving all kinds of threats from Moscow. But as he said, he fears God, not man. Praying along with numerous others that he stay strong and undeterred in the LORD.
