ABSTRACT

Recently, a serious geopolitical conflict between Russia and Ukraine has attracted global attention. Historically, the two countries belong to the nation of East Slavs, which can be described as the same origin. However, in recent years, the contradiction has deepened and sharpened, and finally the war between the two countries has caused a serious political and economic crisis, and also brought profound disasters to the people of the two countries. There are a series of geopolitical reasons behind the military conflict between the two countries, as well as the western forces to intensify the conflict. Among them, the religious factors include the improper handling of relationship between Russia and the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the relationship between the Orthodox Church and Catholicism, etc., and the progress of dialogue, communication and harmonious integration is not smooth, which also plays a deep-seated motivation in the deterioration of the relationship between the two countries. It is of practically significant inspiration for us to properly handle the religious relations among different nationalities and countries, strengthen dialogue and exchange, enhance understanding and harmony, and realize peaceful coexistence.
