In a move initially proposed by the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, President Putin has ordered his forces to observe a 36-hour cease-fire in Ukraine to coincide with Orthodox Christmas.

E Walker not @ewalker1057 – Freedom of Religion. Not about a permanent ceasefire. This is the Christmas celebration for the Orthodox Church worldwide including in America. The Kiev government has been attacking Orthodox Churches in Ukraine much as Germany did synagogues during WWII. Practitioners are not able to observe the Orthodox Christmas unless Kiev stops attacking their churches. Thus a ceasefire is necessary. The US, NATO and EU were even considering sanctioning the Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill. The West does not respect Russians and their right to freedom of religion. Nothing to do with seeking peace. Just the opportunity to observe religious beliefs.
As a USA taxpayer I call on Zelensky to surrender and refund my cash.
With the greatest respect to the church it's totally illegal for an invading army to be in any sovereign country ordering anything they have no legal rights to order nothing.
36 hours or 63 hours?
No more war is better.
He needs time to reorganize so he can send in the Putin Youth corps!
They are right to be skeptical!!
Yeah. Attacking civilians
Russia will probably liquidate Ukrainian state which wasn't Putin's initial plan, but it will eventually work out for Russia even better than what was planned. This Putin gesture (he knew perfectly well that it would be rejected by Zelenskyy regime) aims at winning hearts and minds of future Russian citizens. Ukraine already lost most trained and motivated soldiers along with almost all hardware it had before the war. Its army is a shadow of its former self at the beginning of the war. It accounts for catastrophic increase in military casualties along with inadequate erratic Zelenskyy and his nutty tactic of constantly throwing poorly trained (most don't have any training whatsoever; lucky ones have 5-week training at best. So poor fellows are just half-baked cannon fodder) Ukrainian reserves into a meat grinder and holding on to disadvantageous positions until it's too late. Zelensky banned marking of soldiers’ graves with Ukrainian flags (many bodies are deliberately left where they perished without a burial, it helps Zelenskyy not to pay even a meagre compensation to the families of the "missed in action"). Endless forests of flags at cemeteries across Ukraine proved to be too scary and demoralizing for those still desperately trying to escape forced conscription and bribe their way out of Zelenskyy dictatorship. Mass summary executions for attempted surrender or unauthorized retreat just cause further demoralization and despair. Bakhmut is just the last instance of this insane tactic.
Catholic Pope pleaded to end the war in Christmas message.
Head of the Russian Orthodox Church: Attack Ukraine but ceasefire on Orthodox Christmas only.
It’s okay. I don’t trust the comedian!
Trojan Horse.
It's KIEVE.
This is bad, in my opinion. Russia will use this to move troops and equipment into best positions. This is terrible, I should say! I want cease fire, but not that benefots one side over the other. If it is truly cease fire, why couldn't Russian troops advance hundreds of miles into new areas without being fired upon? Probably my lack of understanding that cease fire also includes no troop advancement. Even if no troop advancement, I still worry that this is benefitting Russian so much more to prepare for next attack unimpeded by moving in troops rather than to acknowledge holiday.
Ukrainian's murdering Russian Ukrainian's sanctioned by the USA and NATO since 2014 has a Palestinian take to it, karma? Merry Christmas and carry on!
in my opinion ( i ve been Living in Russia since 1994 ) , in my opinion , it is FAKE news , aLL of it , since 24 february 2022 is fake , as i "guess" WAR there has been going on "de facto" since The coLLapse of the USSR in 1992 or so , so , people of America , i advise You NOT to beLieve those reports of peace , war , because it is an "never ending story" , so , you ' d rather , if you don ' t minde , please : "meikk biLiv that i ( The good Vs the EviL ; Truth Vs ConfLict etc ) ' m every where , guiiiiven in The Light" … 🙂
Even with the economic Inflation😩 I'm very excited to have earned $10,250 on my $4,000 investment every 13 days 😊.
Cease fire for 36 hours.. use all the nukes at one on the 35th hour.
As they should be.
I just imagine Russia’s defense minister being told to stand up absurdly straight like he always does and talk about tracking Santa. Except unlike in the USA where we do it for fun to watch where he’s going, they do it as a test of their tracking abilities and shoot him down in an elaborate scene.
“The western collaborator known as Santa has been eliminated. Glory to Russia.”
Day 317 Putin calls for 36-hour ceasefire for Orthodox Christmas.
46 Ukrainians are killed each day in Putin's senseless war.
44 Americans are killed each day by other Americans.
Shout out to the Azov battalion for helping the media tell us about the ghost Pilot. ✊ slava Ukraine
