    I was so happy to hear that applause. I played the 20s video a few times. It made me emotional - in a happy way.

    Does President Zelensky always have to be so awesome? But this is not a complaint.

    Slava Ukraini.

    They’re Orthodox, right? If the Metropolitan of Kyiv and other leaders of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church develop ties with the Roman Catholic Church, that’s pretty significant.

      There is also a Ukrainian Catholic “sect” (denomination? Not sure the proper terminology). They follow the heirarchy of the Pope, like other Catholics, but I believe there is more figures in there too (metropolitan’s, archbishops). Their liturgy is more Orthodox than Roman cathlicism, (Byzantine rite) and some other differences - communion, baptism/confirmation, priests can marry.

      I would laugh too if this wasn’t going to be a major influence on US policy towards Ukraine in the coming months.
