Pentagon’s ex-official calls UOC a “military propaganda” instrument of RF
Former civil servant of Pentagon Michael Carpenter
The former assistant to the deputy head of the Pentagon and director of Biden Analytical Center at the University of Pennsylvania, Michael Carpenter, called the Moscow Patriarchate Russia's military propaganda and an instrument of its foreign policy.
“It was actually a kind of wedge in the cultural and religious spheres, almost military propaganda against the Ukrainian population,” he described the purpose of the existence of the Moscow Patriarchate in an interview with Ukrinform.
Carpenter called the granting of autocephaly to Ukraine a historical milestone and promised that once the Tomos had been received it "would create new dynamics."
The other day, State Department Special Envoy Kurt Volker, supported the Phanar’s decision on Ukrainian autocephaly.
