According to him, the church does not forbid believers to serve in the army and defend their country. Moreover, the protection of the Motherland is the natural right and duty of the citizen. Therefore, the church does not interfere with people who want to go to the army. According to His Beatitude Sviatoslav, church ministers accompany the believers in their duty to defend Ukraine. "Our military chaplains go with our people into the same army. We support our army," he said.
He also noted that some believers want to prove their right not to serve their right through faith. This is due to the point of view of the Christian doctrine of the war and peace of the Catholic Church. However, it is not a reason for refusing service. "That is, it is not necessary, referring to religious beliefs in this case, to avoid the army," - said the clergyman.
His Beatitude Sviatoslav stated that although the war did not abolish the 10 commandments of God, in this case the rules of legitimate self -defense apply. "That is, when it comes to the fact that we must stop the unfair aggressor in proportion, then this type of protection is morally correct," he said. The focus also figured out whether students could call into the army of students and in which cases.
