A soldier of the 6th Bars Volunteer Detachment with the call sign Krasavchik said that Muslim and Christian fighters supported each other during Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine. It has been reported DEA News. .
He stressed that he was not an “atheist” on the battlefield.
“Many bought God here. We serve both Muslims and Orthodox. Allah is one, we celebrate both Easter and Eid al-Fitr together. The guys are all very friendly. Both Muslims and Orthodox. We support each other in every possible way. We change our clothes so that the Orthodox go to church services. When Muslims have prayer times, orthodoxes take their place,” he said.
On February 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to organize a special military operation to protect Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics (LPR and DPR).
The decision to run the operation became the justification for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
