The Russo-Ukrainian war is the biggest armed conflict since the World War II in Europe. Although deeply rooted in the Soviet legacy, the war, however, has prominent religious dimension that allows for some scholars to call it the first religious war of the 21st century. The increasingly militarized Russian Orthodox Church has strongly backed Putin's war and has long provided theological and ideological justifications for his domestic and international actions. The politicization and militarization of religion in Russia has resulted in the promotion of the ideology of Russky mir, or "Russian world," under which Russia is destined to lead the eastern Slavic world, including Ukraine, politically and spiritually. While sharing the Soviet past, Ukraine has developed a different religious landscape in the post-Soviet period, leaning towards religious pluralism and religious "denominationalism". However, the Ukrainian political crisis in 2014 and the following Russia's invasion have deepened religious involvement in political life in Ukraine, caused interreligious conflicts, strengthening of the role of the state in interreligious relations. Based on anthropological research, discourse analysis and historical analysis, this article focuses on the religious implications of the war in Ukraine and their historical roots. We examine how religious narratives transformed in both countries, drawing on the manifold ways in which religion can pervade and constitute all aspects of warfare and on religion's relations to development of social militancy and the legitimate use of force.

La guerra ruso-ucraniana es el mayor conflicto militar en Europa desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y, aunque hunde sus raíces en el legado de la era soviética, es también una guerra religiosa debido al uso que se ha hecho de la religión para justificarla. La Iglesia ortodoxa rusa, cada vez más militarizada, lleva ya tiempo ofreciendo justificaciones teológicas e ideológicas a la política nacional e internacional del régimen ruso, y ha respaldado la guerra. La politización y militarización de la religión en Rusia se puede entender en el contexto de la ideología del "mundo ruso", bajo la cual Rusia está destinada a liderar política y espiritualmente el mundo eslavo oriental, incluida Ucrania. Aun compartiendo el pasado soviético, Ucrania es un país históricamente multiconfesional, con un escenario religioso caracterizado por el pluralismo y el "denominacionalismo". Sin embargo, la invasión rusa ha fomentado una mayor participación de la religión en la vida política en Ucrania, provocando conflictos inter e intrarreligiosos que han fortalecido el papel del Estado en las relaciones interconfesionales. Dentro del marco del análisis histórico y de discursos, y desde el punto de vista de la antropología cultural, este artículo se centra en las implicaciones religiosas de la guerra en Ucrania y en sus raíces históricas. Examinamos cómo se han transformado las narrativas religiosas tanto en Rusia como en Ucrania, cómo se legitima el uso de la violencia y la influencia de la religión en el activismo social.
