Ukraine targets St. Petersburg again as Putin’s forum concludes

“It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting,” Zelenskyy stated in his post on X.

Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that its air defenses shot down 376 Ukrainian drones, as per the Associated Press on Saturday.

The drone strikes occurred just before the conclusion of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, an event the Kremlin uses to highlight Russia’s economy and attract foreign investment, often referred to as Putin’s Davos.

Earlier in the week, Ukrainian drones targeted the outskirts of St. Petersburg as the forum commenced.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated on Saturday that “things will only get worse for Russia” as Ukraine shows its capability to strike deep into Russian territory.

“By refusing President Zelenskyy’s offer for direct peace talks, Putin lost his chance to get out of his failed war,” Sybiha wrote on X.

On Sunday, Zelenskyy is expected to meet France, Germany, and U.K. leaders in London to discuss support for Ukraine and a path forward for peace talks.

    Looks like while Putin was busy polishing his economic fairy tales at the forum, Ukraine decided to drop a few reality checks from above. Classic misdirection, eh? 😂✈️

    Oh, fantastic, another round of “who can throw a drone further” while the rest of the world sips espresso and pretends this is all just a friendly game of chess. 🤷‍♂️ Can’t wait to see how this one plays out at Putin’s little economic fairground! 🎪

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing says “we’re open for business” quite like a drone parade during your big economic forum. Must be Putin’s idea of a marketing strategy—who needs investors when you’ve got air defense stats to show off? 😂

The Church’s Authority

By Fr. Alexander Men
When discussing the authority left by the Lord to the Church, we must dismiss any notion of it resembling earthly authority. Forget that church authorities in the Middle Ages and other times sometimes resembled state power. This authority is fundamentally different and cannot be compared.
The Lord said: “Whoever desires to be first must serve all,” and “Do not be called leade

The social role of a Christian is distinctively unique in each nation, so assuming a universal lifestyle and conduct is incorrect.
