I'm not religious (at all) but I ended up in our local church over Christmas for my kids show, and in November for Remembrance Day. The Vicar (I have no idea what the speaker guys in church are called) repeatedly went out of his way to say how pro Ukrainian they are. There is still now a Ukrainian flag outside each of the churches in our village.
I am fairly sure I know which side the Church is on, based on my albeit limited experience.
As an aside, thanks to you guys I learned a new word- Vatnik.
