God Bless Patriarch Kirill. President Putin immediately accepted this appeal. But the Ukraine has rejected it. This was no surprise to me. The diabolical internationalist puppet masters are pulling the strings behind the curtains, and the sinister internationalists could care less if Orthodox Christians die on our Blessed Christmas. Remember when my Serbian Orthodox People were bombed during our Easter Holy Week. I read that on some of the bombs was written "Happy Easter" before the bombs were dropped. Maybe now you will realize THEY HATE ALL ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS as I have said before. Maybe now all of our Orthodox Brothers and Sisters will finally WAKE UP. Maybe now our people will realize that the devious internationalists are smiling as Orthodox Brothers are killing each other. Almighty God will help us, as we the Orthodox are His people. All Glory To Our True God Jesus Christ. Just my humble opinion.
