Mothering Sunday, now more commonly referred to, commercially, as Mothers' Day falls on 27 March in the United Kingdom this year. Other countries celebrate the event on different dates. In Ukraine it falls on Sunday, 8 May 2022. In Russia, Mother's Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November by when many more mothers will have lost their sons in a phoney war.
The Times of Israel reports that Ukraine has "invited the worried mothers of Russian troops captured on the battlefield to come and collect their sons, in an apparent attempt to embarrass Moscow."
Sadly mother Church in Russia, in particular Patriarch Kirill has sided with his friend Vladimir Putin, turning his invasion of Ukraine into a holy war.
The Russian people have been deceived. Many more sons and daughters will be sacrificed in Putin's war, his so called 'special operation'.
On Mothering Sunday spare a thought for mothers in Ukraine and in Russia who are needlessly suffering while we celebrate.
