RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR Ukraine's priest insulted Putin

The war in Ukraine entered its third month on Sunday, the day Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter. Waiting for a priest to bless Easter at the St Michael Monastery, a gold-dome cathedral with sky-blue walls in the heart of Kiev, Olha Liforensic had some thoughts about Russian President Vladimir Putin. When I look at Putin, I don"t see a person. I see nothing but dead meat, he said. Faced with the breeze of the bleeping rain and the cold wind, Liforensic, the redheaded woman patiently waited with a friend Saturday for a priest to bless their Easter eggs and their homemade cupcakes, which they had done before Orthodox Easter. Their speeches in the church were the horror of the Russian invasion, especially the bombing in Obolon, the northern part of Kiev, and their emotions reflected the feelings of Metropolit Epiphanius, the leader of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. There is nothing sacred for Russian killers, Epiphanius said in an online statement, condemning Putin for refusing to declare a three-day truce during the Easter period. On Sunday â€" the day Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter â€" the war in Ukraine entered its third month.
