Putin’s ceasefire is a religious travesty

The below text is published on the Kremlin website and addressed to defence minister Shoigu.

What does it say about religion, or at least the Russian president’s understanding of religion, or indeed Patriarch Kirill’s faith?

Is it ok to kill, plunder, burn, rape on the other days of the year?

Anyway, ceasefires take place in wars and not ‘Special Military Operations’.

“Taking into account the appeal of his holiness Patriarch Kirill, I instruct the minister of defence of the Russian Federation to introduce a ceasefire regime along the entire line of contact of the parties in Ukraine in from 12.00 on 6 January 2023 to 24.00 on 7 January 2023,” 

“Based on the fact that a large number of citizens professing Orthodoxy live in the areas of hostilities, we call on the Ukrainian side to declare a ceasefire and allow them to attend services on Christmas Eve, as well as on Christmas Day,” Putin added.
