The Russian War against Ukraine through the Eyes of Ukrainian Christian Clergy

Various social science research is being conducted at the University of Warsaw. One area of research is Russia’s war against Ukraine. I undertook to conduct research to find out the opinions of Christian clergymen from Ukraine precisely about Russia’s war against Ukraine. My idea is to present to an international audience the actions of Christian clergymen in invaded Ukraine, as well as their opinions on the current situation. The collected statements will serve the sole purpose of research, and will be presented collectively and fully anonymously. I am convinced that thanks to the collected data and their analysis, I will be able to show with the language of science the face of Christianity revealed in the context of the war. Every statement is meaningful to me.

The project is carried out by the Interdisciplinary Research Center of the University of Warsaw „Identity – Dialogue – Security” in cooperation with the John Paul II Charitable Foundation in Lviv represented by Rev. Oleh Salamon.
