Perhaps most unusual about the pair is that in a war that has deeply divided Ukraine, where no one is indifferent, the two say they are neutral. Rather, the conflict is part of a landscape that emerges in rare moments, like the distant reports of artillery fire at the end of one video.
That neutrality is not a calculated stance to avoid offending viewers. It is one of faith.
“The lord Jesus Christ does not take sides, and we must strive to act in his image,” Mr. Kryukov said. “We study the Bible, and our members, we call them brothers and sisters, live in Russia and Ukraine. If we picked a side, we would become an enemy to someone. And we don’t want to be enemies with our brothers and sisters.”
- WGH_ 3y ago> Actually, this guy lives in Luhansk, active war zone in eastern Ukraine. They apparently has left Ukraine since the full-scale war broke out, and travelling around the world: Thailand, India, Kazakhstan, etc.
- NewJazz 3y agoYeah no way someone with this kind of skill doesn't get drafted.
- michaelmrose 3y agoIf you can't pick a side between mass murderers and rapists building torture camps where dead kids once sat to learn in a language and culture the invaders are trying to erase that is a substantial moral error. Even jesus said love the sinner not ignore his sin. The fact that they have themselves fled the war zone if anything makes it worse. They are hypocrites as well as cowards.
