“Most of the monuments [destroyed and damaged – ed.] Are, unfortunately, churches, of different denominations, and they are located mainly in the regions where the fighting took place. And the question is not only which monuments were destroyed or damaged. The question is whether they are aimed at whether these monuments are monuments of religious heritage or soldiers of the Soviet army who won World War II. They are deliberately shooting at the monument to Shevchenko, as in Borodyanka. This is basically a war of civilizations. It is a war between good and evil, a war between life and death.
