Get out of stock: Russia wants to send priests to war in Ukraine

The military command of the Russian Federation believes that priests are the same citizens as everyone. The priests were allowed to go to the front only as priests. The Russian military command can call the monks within the limits of mobilization if they have a military ticket. This was reported by the RBC agency on the hotline 122, which informs about mobilization. Experts have assured that all citizens of Russia who are in army stock are subject to mobilization.

"If a monk has a military ticket in his hands, then he is in stock. Even if he has never served but has a military ticket in his hands, he can mobilize him. He is the same citizen of Russia as everyone," - explained on the hotline . The Deputy Head of the Synodal Department of Church and Media Relations with Society and the Media Vakhtang Kipshidze said in communication with Daily Storm that Russian priests have the right to participate in Russia's war without weapons in his hands and as priests.

"The priests serve in the army by military chaplains. This is the only opportunity for them to participate in a military operation," Kipshidze said. Professor of the Moscow Theological Academy, Dr. Theology Alexei Osipov emphasized that clergymen are forbidden to take weapons to kill people. They are used on the front as "doctors of the soul" of the invaders. The Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Cyril Gundyaev called the believers to "spiritual mobilization.

" "Many are raising in Russia, and many heads have dizzy in the desire to ruin Russia, its identity, independence and freedom. And so we must especially strengthen ourselves in faith today," he said. Cyril stated that we should not be afraid to go to kill Ukrainians, because "Christ is risen and we will be resurrected. " If the invader dies in the war, then he will "be with God" because he "defended" his country.
