Ukraine: bishop fears ‘total invasion’ by Russia
July 20, 2015
A bishop who ministers near Ukraine's border with Russia said in a recent lecture that "it will be a miracle if Russia doesn't decide on a total invasion."
"If it happens, and Russia attacks Ukraine, this will be a Europe-wide, if not worldwide, problem," said Bishop Jan Sobilo, the Latin-rite auxiliary bishop of Kharkiv-Zaporizhia.
"Millions of desperate refugees will have no prospect other than escape to the West," he added, according to the The Tablet.

But let's not worry about all that! Let's worry instead about climate change! Let's call on both sides to make peace and not have "brothers fighting against each other." So what if Ukraine is overrun by Russian troops and disappears from the face of the earth forever? Let's not imperil a future meeting of the Pope with Kiril, a good friend of Putin and the Patriarch of Moscow, by voicing our concern over and condemnation of what Russia is doing in and especially TO Ukraine! Easier to look away!
