hmm, let me remind you that vladyka anthony spoke about how representatives of the canonical orthodoxlet's say from this speech, whether they listened to it in the west. uh, well, probably, first of all, uh, vladyka anthony himself can evaluate the results of this speech and since it is he who is engaged in external church activities about whether they were invited formally or informally , you know. unfortunately. we all see that it is increasingly turning into a formal platform for everyone. it remains an important platform, but on the one hand, we see less and less of the effect of the un's activities. ah. will it be straight i strongly doubt the effect of vladyka antone’s speech in the form of ending the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church, because hmm, at least in the near future, yes, in the near future, because the ukrainian state authorities and the manipulators behind them are clearly not aimed at that to cause maximum economic damage to the ukrainian orthodox church, but certainly. uh, it's a speech that is, well, it's without precedent for the hierarch of the orthod

and here there is another side, because uh, vladyka and anthony per person, well, quite young.se, i also look from this point of view. it's, uh, a rising star just because the way the text was written, ah and it's spoken, of course, speaks of a huge , just uh, personal perspective, uh of this metropolitan because the same yes and i listened, well, i listened live and saw just emotions, but the emotions of the audience. i saw, despite what then they became. eh , so to speak, that's all, it doesn't matter to deny it, but it's very interesting that the same camera slid members of the security council to the police and it was clear that they obeyed great attention. then they work out their agenda and say, no, it's not like that, but they heard. they heard. this is a very important step. the fact is that a if a our church will not pronounce. these things are plain text, then then our brothers and laity and clergy in ukraine are simply destroyed, they do not need protection. and how, like a church, can, e protect e their brothers and sisters, and speaking, out loud and calling this e

it seems to you that vladyka anthony used his right voice to a sufficient extent. or maybe he needed to talk about it more broadly, maybe, uh, taking advantage of the fact that he came to this podium. he was given the floor to speak not only about the situation in ukraine, but in general to somehow voice the history and position of russia in relation to this. well , first of all, vladyka anton, uh, not authorized to express the point of view of russia, he is, uh, a clergyman, he is the minister of foreign affairs of the russian orthodox church. and of course he could talk, and he took advantage as well the opportunity to talk about the church religious problem that exists in ukraine, this problem is formulated very briefly, and this persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church is comparable to the persecution of the russian orthodox church at the beginning of the 20th century . of course, unique, because for the first time in general for the first time in history. he uh had the opportunity to speak as a representative of the russian orthodox church, uh and convey o

call these persecutions in plain text and by their own names, and this is exactly what i did vladyka anthony for which i bow to him most tenderly? and by the decision of the leadership of ukraine, sanctions were imposed, come on, two dozen bishops, uh, most of whom are deprived of ukrainian citizenship, while the un charter says that humanity in its development should strive to ensure that it is as possible fewer stateless people. many of these bishops have no other citizenship besides ukrainian citizenship, what is their fate? as you think. so what do they hope for, continuing to be on the territory of ukraine, that they will serve in the future? these people, and here are those, the bishops who are now being deprived of their citizenship, and those priests who are being killed and knocked down and thrown out of the temple, a and the temirians, who are defending their church in ukraine a. these are the confessors of the faith, these are the confessors of the faith. they, uh, are undergoing this suffering with this teachings, but for the sake of christ and this is their first and main motiva

uh, well, probably, first of all, uh, vladyka anthony himself can evaluate the results of this speech church activities about whether they were invited formally or informally, you know. unfortunately. we all see that he is more and more turns into a formal platform for everyone. it remains an important platform, but on the one hand, we see less and less of the effect of the un's activities. ah. whether there will be a direct effect from vladyka antone’s speech in the form of an end to the persecution of the ukrainian orthodox church , i strongly doubt, because hmm, at least in the near future, yes, in the near future, because the ukrainian state authorities and the manipulators behind them are clearly on aimed at inflicting maximum economic harm to the ukrainian orthodox church, but certainly. uh, it's a speech that is, well, it's without precedent for the hierarch of the orthodox church, i don't know about other churches. uh, catholic or otherwise? well, for the first time the orthodox church spoke in the security council. it never happened before, first of all. secondly, we understa
