Today as never before
Ukrainians are fighting for their life as a sovereign nation. Young men
are dying in droves as they are often outgunned by Russian heavy
weaponry. Two volunteer battalions have been surrounded the last two
days with no way of escape. Yesterday, Russia opened a new front on the
Azov Sea in the southeast to make a land bridge to Crimea. President
Petro Poroshenko has made urgent appeals for emergency sessions of the UN and European Security Councils.
Who has not heard the indignant denials of Russia’s leaders? In
response to NATO and western accusations they bandy about words like
“fantasy” and “no relation to reality”, simply because in all of their
Orwellian newspeak and propaganda they have replaced “Ukraine” with
“Novorossiya”, meaning “New Russia”.
Yesterday, in an
emergency session of the UN Security Council, Vitaly Churkin told
Samantha Power that the United States was “meddling in the affairs of a
sovereign nation.” The news camera showed her smiling and shaking her
head in disbelief as she took notes. To us in the West such a statement
is flat out hypocritical and beyond the pale of normal reason.
In Russian “newspeak”, however, the sovereign nation (singular) of
Greater Russia includes a whole lot more than just Ukraine, which has to
them become a mere province. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech
Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and others take notice! Having
redefined everything in Orwellian newspeak, Russia’s leaders are acting,
speaking and killing with impunity according to what they see as their
historical destiny, their “divine right”.
You do not have to
tolerate the blatant lies and disinformation coming your way from
Russia. Rather, listen to the cries and see the tears of Russian
mothers whose sons’ bodies are being flown back from the combat zone.
Join in prayer with Ukrainian families as they mourn their dead sons.
Hear fathers and mothers in Kyiv protesting the pitiable state of their
boys fighting with inferior weapons and no body armor. Above all, take
action by contacting your representatives, speaking the truth, and
praying for God’s divine intervention.
Praying for you and all concerned over there.

DeleteSure appreciate the prayers, Colleen. Thank you so much.
DeleteRecently at our church we had a visit from a Pastor in Eastern Ukraine who gave us information on what is happening there, so it is good to have information from the West as well, and we pray daily for peace in Ukraine and freedom for oppression.
