Ukraine is turning in Waterloo for Patriarch Bartholomew, the Russian church official believes

Moscow, June 28, Interfax - Constantinople is involved in the knowingly lost affair, the Moscow Patriarchate official believes.

"Each day Ukraine is turning into Waterloo for Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. It is a knowingly lost battle, but Phanar get involved in it itself, as it was supported by certain forces which have nothing to do with Orthodoxy", head of the Synodal Department for Church, Society and Media Relations Vladimir Legoyda wrote at his article published by the Izvestia paper.

The Russian Orthodox church official said that Patriarch Bartholomew got involved in it in spite of Patriarch Kirill's fraternal requests and advice.

"And the quarter in some time Orthodox Istanbul is turned into Saint Helena Island where Patriarch Bartholomew isolates himself as neither of local Orthodox Churches has supported him in his anti-canonical interference in Ukraine", Legoyda continued his parallel with Napoleon.
