(Worthy News) – At least 272 clerics in the Russian Orthodox Church — the faith often aligned with Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin — have signed an online letter calling for an immediate end of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the withdrawal of all troops and weapons.

The Russian-language document is posted online at Alphabet’s Google Docs service for signatures by a group using the name “Russian Priests for Peace.” Nothing else was immediately available about the activist group.

“We, the priests and deacons of the Russian Orthodox Church, each in our own name, appeal to everyone on whom the cessation of the fratricidal war in Ukraine depends, with a call for reconciliation and an immediate ceasefire,” the letter reads via automated translation.
