Darya Dugina's Assassins Absolved by Ukrainian Supreme Bishop Shevchuk

The head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic (Uniate) Church, the Supreme Bishop Svyatoslav Shevchuk, praised the assassins of Darya Dugina. Speaking on Ukraine’s “Kultura” radio, he labeled Dugina, “the ideological enemy of Ukraine…. Who killed Dugin acted as a patriot of Ukraine destroying the enemy of his country in the war.”

But wait, that wasn’t jarring enough.

The bishop then proceeded to invoke “Christian grace” and “goodness” in his explanation. “The Russian aggressor wants to throw his ideology on Ukraine and the whole world, forcibly drive people into the hated space of the so-called ‘Russian world'…. There is nothing Christian in the ideology of the ‘Russian world’ that at least slightly corresponded to the concepts of Christian grace, respect for law and right, goodness and truth. What is happening now in Ukraine is a moral revolution for Ukrainians and the whole world. Russia is imposing a post-truth regime on the world. Ukraine and Ukrainians are breaking this crooked mirror of post-truth.”

Evidently, the good Bishop only breaks mirrors with “Christian grace.”
