There are times when Church leaders need to tell it as it is. Pope Francis an Archbishop failed on all counts.
It is Russia who started this war, Russia who have murdered 1000s of civilians, Russia who have kidnapped 100s of thousands of children. Russia who are committing genocide.
The Speech assigned equivalence to bully and victim. Totally and utterly wrong on just about every count.

You,sir...are bang on the money.

Slava Ukraini.

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the vast majority of Russians are ready to "put everything on the line" for the sake of their country.

Putin's quote when asked about what surprised him during the war: "As for the main part, there are 99.9% of our citizens, our people, who are ready to put everything on the line in the interests of the motherland, there is nothing unusual here for me. It simply reassures me once again that Russia is a special country. And special people live here."

Details: According to him, this is allegedly "confirmed throughout the entire history of Russia's existence, and once again today."

The Russian dictator also added that he is allegedly not surprised that some people behave "not like real patriots."

According to Putin, in any society there are always people who "primarily think of their personal interests", but he "does not really condemn" them, since "every person has the right to choose".

And meanwhile the chief Catholic, while bemoaning a "grave famine of peace", refuses to name Russia as one of the causes of war in his Christmas address.

meanwhile Ecumenic Patriarch of Constantinople:

“The Holy Great Church of Christ – which brought the Christian faith and Byzantine civilization to your homeland, Kyiv Rus, at the end of the 10th century – continues to admire the courage, bravery, and prowess of the Ukrainian people, who demonstrate to the whole world true devotion and boundless love for their country,” he stated.

Bartholomew also called the Russian war against Ukraine “the worst European geopolitical and humanitarian crisis since the end of WWII” that negatively affects the environment and the world’s society.

“The Mother Church is especially thinking of you all who are celebrating the Nativity of Christ in this cold season, particularly this year in Ukraine, without electricity, without heating, and is unceasingly praying for the immediate restoration of peace and justice, for the revival of Ukraine,” he added.

The Ukrainians stick rotated out R&R divisions just over the border to make sure they keep quiet. They out number Russian forces the other side of the border 3-1.
Incidently the Russians haven't R&Rd any brigade since Adam was a lad.

Do you think any threats to other Countries are part of their ongoing need to delay or prevent current Ukrainian success?

Their need to have successes to boast about allows them at all levels to show it to their population possibly.
The fact that this then targets them is accepted as the consequence of good news being broadcast maybe?
