What the News Isn’t Telling You About Ukraine.

Ukraine has been in the news quite a bit over the past week and for good reason - an invasion by Russian forces is possible. Most of what has been covered in the news is very American-centric. There is little coverage about how allies plan to answer the regional and perhaps world changing threat. There is little to no coverage about the situation on the ground inside of Ukraine. 

Any lack of coverage in American news is for good reason - as I am sure any administration does not want to divulge its full strategy. I believe the Russian troop buildup may only be Putin’s way to determine the true resolve of the new American Adminstration. There’s also the issue of getting fresh water to Crimea. And of course the over romanticization of reliving the “glory years of the Soviet Union.“

There is little news reporting on the situation in Ukraine on the American news.

Upon our meeting with our team in Ukraine, we found out the following information:

Russian troops are 174 miles from the capital, but still in Russia and Belarus

All males have to report for selective service to be called up for the army.

Next year all women must report for selective service.

Prices have multiplied 100%

Everyone has been told to prepare a suitcase in case they have to evaluate.

COVID cases are spiking like they are everywhere else.

No one knows what will happen next, but we know how the story ends. Love wins. Truth wins. Justice wins. Jesus wins. 

How can you help?

Pray for God’s almighty protection for Ukraine.

Pray for integrity within the Ukrainian government.

Pray for the protection of our team.

Pray for the Russian dictator (Putin) to be removed and replaced with someone with integrity who is devoted to human rights and freedom.

Give financially as we are still working and have fantastic plans for the future in Ukraine.
