    Ukrainian Orthodox Church condemns Russian invasion and calls Putin "the anti-Christ"

    From the Jerusalem Post:

    Ukraine archbishop slams Russian invasion, calls Putin the anti-Christ

    The leaders of the independent Orthodox Church of Ukraine called Russian President Vladimir Putin the modern-day anti-Christ who is going against the will and law of God in his ongoing invasion of the besieged county.

    Speaking on the BBC's Global News Podcast, Ukrainian Orthodox Church spokesperson and bishop Yevstratiy Zoria slammed Putin as the anti-Christ because everything he does and is doing "is totally against gospel [and] against God's law."

    This follows a previous statement made by Metropolitan Epiphanius I of Ukraine on Sunday, saying in an official statement that "the spirit of the anti-Christ operates in the leader of Russia."

    He claimed that the "signs" were revealed to indicate this, citing "Pride, devotion to evil, ruthlessness [and] false religiosity."

    This "was [Nazi leader Adolf] Hitler during World War II," Epiphanius claimed: "This is what Putin has become today."

    The archbishop has also been very vocal in his support for Ukrainian resistance to Russia's invasion.

    "This spirit of love and truth, which are on our side, testify that with God's help we will achieve victory. Every hour of resistance to aggression brings us closer to this," he said in his statement.
