The UGCC stated that thanks to faith in God, men who did not want to fight and even fled became excellent soldiers, said Uniate cleric Justin Boyko.
According to him, despite geopolitical changes, Ukrainians "somehow hold on." And this is connected with the fact that God gives warriors special "virtues that are not acquired immediately."
"I know very many guys who had no desire to serve, had no great courage, even fled. But then, they say, they reconsidered their faith in the light of faith, trust in God and became very good warriors," Boyko reported.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that, according to Boyko, the UOC, going underground, is trying to imitate Uniates.
