The Church has always been an important ideological tool, and today religion is part of the hybrid war against Moldova. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister for Reintegration Oleg Serebryan at the public debate “War, Religion and Church”.
According to him, the Russian Orthodox Church has played an important role in justifying Russian military aggression and promoting expansionist ideas since ancient times.
“We know from history that the church was a factor that went hand in hand with expansion and war.” – the official emphasized.
Serebryan says that the Russian president Vladimir Putin He assigned the Church the role of a geopolitical instrument. As a result, “religion has become part of the hybrid war.” He added that the war in Ukraine “is an absolute evil” and Russia is using “barbaric methods” in the neighbouring country that have completely destroyed the concept of security on the European continent.
“Now in Ukraine we have a large-scale military confrontation and aggression. The methods of carrying out this aggression surpass even the methods used in the Balkans in 1992-1995.” — concluded Oleg Serebrian.
Let us recall that not long ago a deputy of the ruling presidential party “Action and Solidarity” in Moldova Vasile Shoimaru He said that “the time will come when we, as Ukraine, will give up the metropolis of Moldova, which is actually the metropolis of Russia.”
