Ukraine's bargain for US weapons with Russian shrines ‘DEEPLY OFFENSIVE’
Ukraine's bargain for US weapons with Russian shrines ‘DEEPLY OFFENSIVE’
Ukraine’s claims about Russian missile strikes on Christian shrines kept at the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra are MISINFORMATION to justify the transfer of these relics to European museums, Roman Silantyev, director of the Human Rights Center at the World Russian People's Council, tells Sputnik.
Other key points by Silantyev, who also serves as deputy chair of the Expert Council for State Religious Expertise at Russia’s Ministry of Justice:
◻ Similar developments happened in previous centuries, especially when Ukraine was a battleground between Russian and Western interests
◻ Whenever there is political, economic, and civilizational decline in Ukraine, the country becomes vulnerable to all kinds of plunder
◻ A dozen Orthodox icons that were secretly transported from Ukraine to France will return to RUSSIA, not Ukraine
◻ The trail of how Ukrainian cultural assets ended up in British museums is not hard to trace
Previously, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that “the Kiev regime is prepared to pay for Western-supplied weapons with its own cultural heritage.”
The Zelensky regime doesn’t shy away from looting valuable items located on Ukrainian territory, sending them abroad under the guise of so-called ‘rescue operations,’” she emphasized.
