#Ukraine Image
2.The creation of the autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine is a guarantee of our independence.This is the foundation of our spiritual freedom. We broke the ties that tied us to Moscow with its fantasies about Ukraine as the canonical territory of the russian Orthodox Church⬇️ Image
3. And today we have to finish what we started once and for all.
I will not stop thanking the Ecumenical #Patriarch as the spiritual leader of the #Orthodox people, as a global figure who heard our voice and our requests. I am grateful to all Ukrainians who sincerely believed⬇️ Image

Friends! The link to the premiere of the film is about a unique feat that will be studied in history lessons.
"Departures to immortality. Unique history of 7 helicopter raids, "Azov" and GUR MO in besieged Mariupol ".
Exclusive footage and testimonies of participants of the special operation, which has no analogues.
Helicopters who flew voluntarily, realizing that they could be shot down at any moment. And they were beaten. And they still continued to fly.
Azov volunteers, realizing that this is a one-way ticket, that the environment is full and no one will come to the rescue.
GUR special forces, which flew to cover each flight.
All these people built a bridge to the besieged Mariupol by themselves.
