People should pray that the sword of one brother never rises against another, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus' said after a liturgy in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The broadcast was conducted by the Spas TV channel on VKontakte.
He called on believers to pray that the peoples living on the lands of historical Rus' would always recognize each other as brothers and sisters. “So that the system of common values never collapses, so that the sword of one brother never rises against another,” Kirill said.
The patriarch said that the united people, which came out of the Kyiv baptismal font, "they want to make it relaxed." He noted that in Ukraine there are opponents of the concept of a single people, but the patriarch cannot say otherwise, because he considers this "historical and God's truth."
