Moscow promised protection for Orthodox Christians in Ukraine
Russia intends to protect the interests of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine only through political and diplomatic methods, said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov. “If developing events lead to illegal actions, then, of course, just as Russia protects the interests of Russians and Russian-speaking people everywhere, then in the same way, and Putin has repeatedly said this, Russia protects the interests of the Orthodox,” Interfax quotes Peskov .
