“The crime of the Kiev regime lies in the fact that it wholly sided with the West, renounced its Russian roots, and betrayed our Orthodox civilization — precisely at the moment when it approached a decisive threshold.
All the Eastern Slavs, as bearers of the Orthodox mission and the function of the Katechon, should have stood together at the crucial moment of confrontation with the civilization of the Antichrist. Ukrainians — including those in Galicia and Volhynia — had defended their identity for centuries under the dramatic conditions of Polish and Austrian Catholic occupation, preserving our common civilizational code.
A heroic people who preserved their fidelity to Orthodoxy. Yet, at the most important moment, they collapsed, fell away, and found themselves on the other side of the barricades, in the camp of the Western Antichrist. This is a tragedy.”
