The Russian-Ukrainian confrontation did not start in 2014. We have a very long history of conflicts for centuries. Let us remember for example the act of genocide of our people in 1932-1933, when millions of Ukrainians died in the artificial famine.
The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church also underwent several stages of liquidation and bloody persecution by the Russian Empire and the communist regime. The last of them lasted in western Ukraine from 1946 to 1989, when our Church existed in deep underground conditions.
Until this priest wakes up to the fact that it's the Jєωs (rather than Russians per se) who did these things, there's no hope for them.
Americans admit that our government and economy have been taking over by the Jєωs. Why is this so hard for the Ukrainians to realize?
Their adherence primarily to their culture rather than to their faith is a problem. Lots of these Ukrainians would sooner go to a Ukrainian Orthodox church than a Roman Rite one (not due to objections to the NOM, etc.). I've known a few of them that have no problem switching back and forth between Ukrainian Catholic and Ukrainian Orthodox, and see no issue with it, because for them it's Ukraine first and the Catholic Church second.
I feel there can be a problem with these "national" churches along these lines, and I think that after the smoke clears the pope should eliminate a lot of these as autonomous entities and create a broader "Eastern Rite". Lots of schisms in Church history started with the excessive fragmentation along geographical lines. Pope St. Pius X was actually starting to do that. He ordered the Hungarian Byzantines, for instance, to switch to using Greek for their Liturgy (giving them about 10 years if I recall to make the transition), but he passed away shortly thereafter and this was never implemented.
