The desire of Western countries to defeat Russia has taken very dangerous forms, but any attempt to achieve it will mean the end of the world.

This was stated by the Moscow Patriarch Kirill after the liturgy.

"Today there are great threats to the world, to our country and to the entire human race.

The desire to defeat Russia took a very dangerous form.

We ask God to give wisdom to the fools and help them understand that any desire to destroy Russia would mean the end of the world," he said.

The Patriarch added that

Russia has powerful weapons and is populated by very strong people who have always been motivated to win

.

According to him, today

"some madmen" have the idea that in the current conditions Russia can be defeated or reformatted

, that is, that some new values ​​can be imposed on its inhabitants, which "cannot even be called values".

"Today is such an anxious time, but

we believe that God will not abandon the Russian land, that Russia will have the strength, if necessary, to defend its land and its people

.

God grant that such a clarification of relations does not come to this - may God reconcile everyone, calm them down and help them work together to make the world a better place", added the patriarch.
