Recently, I\u2019ve heard claims\u2014mainly from conservative media in the West\u2014suggesting that the Ukrainian government is persecuting churches. Is this true?<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n

In this video, I share firsthand insight into Ukraine\u2019s religious freedoms, the constitutional protection of faith, and the real reason behind the 2023 law concerning churches tied to Moscow.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While Ukraine remains a country where religious freedom is protected, the situation in Russian-occupied territories is completely different. I share the story of my friend, Pastor Alexander Safetnikov, who was brutally beaten by Russian forces simply for his faith. His story is just one of many, as Russian occupation has led to the targeting, imprisonment, and even murder of evangelical believers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you have questions about what\u2019s happening in Ukraine, let me know in the comments! I want to provide clear, unbiased answers from someone who is living here and experiencing it firsthand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
