Orthodox Church Ships Medieval Prince's Remains to Ukraine
The Russian Orthodox church has sent a relic of 14th-century Prince Dmitry Donskoy’s right hand to Russian troops fighting in Ukraine, claiming it will spiritually strengthen soldiers and help secure victory. The relic was first brought to the Saur-Mogila memorial in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region and is part of the church’s support for the Kremlin’s war effort. Experts suggest the church’s actions are driven by wartime patriotism and align with Russia’s narrative of defending the homeland.
