    I believe he made a statement about converting to Orthodox Christianity. I personally think this was a political move.

    To be honest, I don’t think he believes in the religious polemics of Judaism or Ukrainian Orthodox Christianity.

    I am talking about the detailed religious polemics. Theological axioms. I am an atheist, but I support the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, smaller (pro-Ukrainian) Christian denominations and Crimean Tartar muslim organizations. I would even go as far as saying the government should support them with tax money.

      I think they said that to try to suggest that Zelensky has dual loyalties. Not something Jews are un-used to hearing.

      The fun thing in my case is that I’m a U.S. citizen and, because my dad was British and I fit certain requirements, I just got my British citizenship. So I guess I have triple loyalties?

        Yeah, the multiple loyalties thing is complete BS.

        If that was the case Zelensky would have evacuated to Lviv as per American recommendations. He is clearly not a person to give up.

        And I didn’t even vote for him in 2019 (wasn’t a big fan of his opponent, but there were other issues at play).
