"WASHINGTON — “I promise that we will win this holy war,” the Russian officer tells the recruits arrayed before him in a video recently shared by the popular, pro-Ukraine Saint Javelin social media account. “Who is fighting against us? People who say that their God is Satan. Satanists are at war with us. People who insist we attend LGBT parades.”

The officer’s exhortation had nothing to do with territorial claims, or the supposed “Nazism” of the ruling regime in Kyiv, both of which were the original pretexts for Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Russia’s much smaller neighbor. Instead, the reference to “holy war” mirrored the increasingly sharp spiritual rhetoric emanating from political and military leaders in the Kremlin, who are desperate to retain public support for the faltering war effort."
