The pro-Russia Ukrainian Orthodox Church has formally split from Moscow Patriarch Kirill in what Rebekah Koffler calls a 'huge blow to Putin' and his rationale for the war.
"This is a huge blow to Putin," Koffler told Fox News Digital Sunday.
Russian Orthodox Church Patriarch Kirill conducts the Easter service at the Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow, Russia, on Saturday, April 23., including Ukraine and other post-Soviet states, hinges on the idea that Russia is the center of Christianity and the center of the unique Eurasian civilization that the Russians believe is exceptional just like Americans think America is exceptional," Koffler added."Once the church splits, it takes the whole divinity idea out of it.
Koffler attributed the split to Putin's military strategy, which she said involves directly targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure in order to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to end the suffering.
