The suffering that war with Russia inflicts on Ukraine brings not only harm and damage, but also has positive effects.
Patriarch Filaret said this live on Espresso TV.
“And we see that the things we endure are leading to better. Our army has become stronger. If it was not for the war, it would be weak. Ukraine is divided inside into different parties and currents, through suffering and war the Ukrainian people rally. is not that better? Is not it better? It is. Besides, our society began changing – implementing reform, countering corruption. It is not yet over, but corruption in the country is to be defeated. This means we will have own funds, will not ask for European aid. God through suffering will lead us to a better future,” Patriarch Filaret said.
