Zelenskyy stated, “It is a very sensitive moment… We cannot compare our war, the war of Russia against Ukraine, I wouldn’t say that there is a significant religious discrepancies between our countries. There is a lot of different religions and I guess that the same religions are available in Russia. So, it is not a war that has anything to do with religious discrepancies.
