This past week IRD hosted Ukrainian church pastors for a lunch and discussion on the state of religion in Ukraine. We heard remarkable stories of suffering, faith and courage.

Video of the conversation is available below from IRD’s YouTube channel.

    I really feel for these people. It’s so sad. The Ukrainians have borne the brunt of being pawns in the proxy war.

    Ukraine was invaded by a dictatorial regime that publicly denies Ukraine even exists as a nation and intends to absorb it back into a restored Russian empire. That makes it a war for Ukraine’s very existence, not a proxy war in which NATO is using Ukrainian blood as a way to attack Russia. There would have been no increase at all in military aid to Ukraine were it not for Russia’s invasion.

    It was not a war for Ukraine’s existence, it was a war the neocons provoked.

    “Whatever the narrative is, I support it” must be your motto.

    Such small minds are what they depend on.
