News in the Ukraine war: Kyiv rejects temporary ceasefire

First report from Thursday, January 5th:

Kiev/Moscow – The Ukrainian government in Kiev has no interest in a short-term ceasefire in the Ukraine war.

This was announced by the Office of President Volodyodmyr Zelenskyy.

They reject the call by Kirill, the patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, for a ceasefire between Russian and Ukrainian troops for Orthodox Christmas.

"It is a cynical trap and an element of propaganda," Presidential Advisor Mykhailo Podoliak wrote on Twitter on Thursday (January 5).

The Russian Orthodox Church is also not an authority in global orthodoxy and only acts as a "war propagandist".

Podoliak accused the Moscow Patriarchate of calling for genocide against the Ukrainian people.

Earlier, Russian Patriarch Kirill had called for a ceasefire on Friday (January 6) and Saturday (January 7) from both sides in the “internal conflict”.

According to the Orthodox Church calendar followed in Ukraine and Russia, Friday is Christmas Eve and Saturday is Christmas Day.
