"Whatever this end of the war, Russia will lose strategically and may even end up as a state if it engages in a large-scale war with Ukraine. This will not only be the end for major political figures. This will be the end of Russia with its imperial dreams."
Metropolitan Dymytry (Rudyuk) of Lviv and Sokal of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine said it in an interview for the Galinfo project "#Vidverta_rozmova".
"It's very difficult to talk about it. Whether you like it or not, it's politics. But these relations between Ukraine and Russia are already in the context of war. And here, the voice of the Church should be heard. I constantly think about the point of no return.
It seems that there will be an escalation of the conflict, but there will be no war. But when you listen to some experts, especially the military, they openly say that the war is just around the corner.
I do not know what it will turn into. But in any case, Russia will lose this war, just as Napoleon once lost it to Russia. The resistance of Ukrainians will be huge. If this is underestimated in the Kremlin, it is very bad," Metropolitan Dimitri said.
