This is wonderful!I used pray for the solidarity of Orthodox churches both in Russia and Ukraine.This is all about Christianity, love and forgiveness.When Christianity lost the Constantinople into Muslim's hand, Russia became another power of Eastern Church.Though I am not an Orthodox, but I do pray for the unity of all Orthodox churches.Jesus is one, wherever we are, which denomination we belong to, if we believe in Holy Trinity, The Apostle Creed then we are together. God bless Russia-Ukraine relationship,God bless Orthodox Church.
