Zelensky has recently revoked the citizenship of the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Meropolitan Onufriy:

Russians say that their Orthodox Christianity is why they will win:

In some regards, is this a war between those of faith and those without, between Christianity and those who hate Christianity?
Somehow reminds me of an old song (lyrics and link to video below):
Onward Christian Soldiers by S. Baring-Gould (1865)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NhHUZMufLA
1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
Christ, the royal Master,
leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
see his banner go!
Refrain/Chorus:
Onward, Christian soldiers,
marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
going on before!
2 At the sign of triumph
Satan's host doth flee;
On, then, Christian soldiers,
on to victory!
Hell's foundations quiver
at the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
loud your anthems raise! [Refrain]
3 Like a mighty army
moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;
We are not divided;
all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
one in charity. [Refrain]
4 Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
This thro' countless ages
men and angels sing. [Refrain]
