A young Ukrainian boy explains to his newborn sister what an air raid alert means. These are not lessons meant for children - yet this is the daily reality for millions of Ukrainian families.

Putin’s approval rating in Europe

Putin’s approval rating is at a historic low. He was named TIME’s Person of the Year in 2007 for what the magazine described as an “extraordinary feat of leadership” in bringing stability to russia. Today, he is the most hated figure in Europe since Hitler.

F-16 spectacularly destroys a russian drone in mid-air. To eliminate the target, the Ukrainian pilot used the aircraft’s cannon.

4/ Even the recent so-called “pause” in strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure served only one purpose: to allow russia to stockpile enough missiles and drones for new mass attacks on Ukraine.

3/ And instead of punishing russia for this genocide, Trump has invited Putin to the U.S. and asked russia to join the “Board of Peace”. Now, a photo of the war criminal Vladimir Putin hangs in the White House. Just think about this insanity.

2/ Since he became president, russia has increased its attacks on Ukraine tenfold.

The United States has largely halted military aid and intelligence sharing, helping to trigger one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes of the war. Ukrainians are literally freezing to death.

Russia dropped an aerial bomb on Kramatorsk. A 77-year-old woman was killed, many civilians were wounded, and residential buildings were destroyed. This is what russian “peace negotiations” look like.

A large part of this escalation is a direct consequence of Trump coming to power.

The U.S. has agreed to renew military-to-military communication with russian terrorists.

First, Trump displayed a portrait of the war criminal Putin in the White House. Now this.

At this rate, I guess the next step will be the U.S. supplying weapons to russia.

Unfortunately, there are still naïve people who believe in Trump's "peacemaking," concessions to Putin, and a quick end to the war.

The MAGA cult has nothing in common with the real Republican Party. Just watch this clip of John McCain responding to a racist comment about Barack Obama in 2008:

“He’s a decent family man that I happen to have disagreements with. That’s what this campaign is all about.”

In the last 100 years, Russia has attacked at least 19 countries, some as many as three or four times. None of those countries has ever attacked Russia.

Stop standing with Ukraine and start fighting with Ukraine! Cut off russia's ability to fund its war machine and give Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself. Both of these things could be done today and save countless innocent lives. Instead, more talk.

A heartwarming video of a Ukrainian defender returning home to his daughter.

May there be more reunions like this, may the light overcome darkness, and Ukraine overcome russia.

This is how Ukrainians are surviving this winter.

All I can say is that russia is a terrorist state and all russians are complicit in these war crimes.

The only purpose the so-called “pause” served was to allow russia to stockpile enough missiles and drones for yet another mass attack on Ukraine.

Russians bombed a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia. Many civilians were injured.

This is what happened when we try to make a deal with terrorists.

My Sunday message (in English with translation into Ukrainian) based on the story of Samson - the story of tragedy and God’s grace.

I think there are a few valuable lessons for all of us.
