Paper long abstract:

In the context of the war, a number of Russian Christian communities, through their subordinate media, have exalted and justified Putin, who has launched the bloodiest and most ruthless war in the last 80 years. Their pseudo-arguments focus on the fact that the West seems to be threatening to destroy morality; that the depraved Western world wants to draw Ukraine into its orbit; that the dominance of LGBT people is a harbinger of Armageddon, and that Putin is fighting the Antichrist in the person of the collective West to preserve traditional values, which can only be carried by Russia. In the context of such an information war, where religion is part of the ideology of war, Christians of Ukraine have undertaken the mission of "separating the wheat from the chaff" and destroying the myths created by the Kremlin propaganda and disseminated by Russian religious media. In particular, the "New Christian Channel", which has a wide audience in different countries, seeks to expose to both Ukrainian and foreign audiences the destructive nature of the "Russian world" and to involve progressive humanity in the struggle for democratic values that are important both for Ukraine and for the entire civilized world.
