Three years ago, Russian propagandists flaunted the theft of the cross from Luhansk and called it a “unique relic.”
The Russian occupiers from the Samara region, before being sent to war, met with a priest who blessed them with a stolen cross. 40 days later, these soldiers were killed as a result of an excellent rocket hit on the PTU building in Makiivka.
As journalist and blogger Denys Kazanskyi writes on his Telegram page, the cross was stolen by rioters from one of the Luhansk churches even before the start of the full-scale war. Kazansky considers such a coincidence to be very symbolic.
Three years ago, Russian propagandists flaunted the theft of the cross from Luhansk and called it a “unique relic.” Archimandrite of the ROC Bartholomew (Kuznetsov) stole the cross. Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church Dmytro Polyakov blessed the occupiers from the Samara region. The latter told the Russian military that “the Lord is with them.”
The destruction of the RF base in Makiivka, Donetsk region
In the first minutes of 2023, “gifts” from the Armed Forces arrived at the base of the Russian Federation in occupied Makiivka. Ukrainian soldiers delivered a powerful blow with HIMARS to the occupiers who were in the school building.
The liquidated Rashists are considered to be hundreds, but the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims only 63 of its soldiers. Later, the number of officially confirmed “two hundred” increased to 98.
The Russian Federation said that the occupiers themselves were to blame for the fact that the Armed Forces counted them out, because they used mobile phones despite the ban.
