Conflict in Ukraine

Jonathan Thomas looks at some of the powerful religious undercurrents swirling around the Ukraine crisis, and some extraordinary links between faith and national identity.

Before invading Ukraine, President Putin pointed to the affinity between Russians and Ukrainians through some of their shared history and above all through the Russian Orthodox Church. And yet, in such a strongly religious country as Ukraine, not all worshippers are Christian, not all Christians are Russian Orthodox believers, and many Russian Orthodox faithful identify as Ukrainian. Jonathan Thomas explores this complex web of religious and national identities.
