Russia’s war on God’s children goes on…
When I read this report I got so very, very heartsick. We have been covering the news of all the Ukrainian children kidnapped by ‘madman’ Russian President Vladimir Putin for such a very long time. I call the Russia’s war against Ukraine, “THE FORGOTTEN WAR.” The children are forgotten by many, including a lot of Americans.
I have stated many times that I will never understand the Trump-Putin relationship. I still hold President Trump to his promise that he would end Russia’s war with Ukraine. Could President Trump call Putin on this? Putin is the most evil man in the world. I am just so stunned at the lack of action by my country.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 18:10
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14
As I have stated for years, ‘madman’ Putin is ‘HITLER-LIKE’.
The following report makes me sick:

WASHINGTON (BP) – The Russian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (“ROC-MP”) is helping the Russian government kidnap, house and falsely indoctrinate Ukrainian children, according to expert testimony before the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (“USCIRF”).
The testimony came from Kyiv, Ukraine, native Vladyslav Havrylov, who this year became a global fellow with the Collaborative on Global Children’s Issues at Georgetown University. In both oral and written testimony, Havrylov told USCIRF of the ROC-MP’s persecution of Ukrainian children during an April 30th virtual hearing on “The Impact of Freedom of Religion or Belief Violations on Children.”
“One of the most alarming dimensions of the ROC’s role in Russia’s war crimes is its direct involvement in the forcible deportation of Ukrainian children,” Havrylov said in written testimony. “In close cooperation with the Russian government, the ROC has been involved in the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to the territory of the Russian Federation, placing them in church charitable homes, monasteries and recreational camps.”
Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Havrylov said, he has focused on Russia’s “forcible transfer, deportation, adoption and reeducation of Ukrainian children.” The documented 20,570 Ukrainian children Russia has kidnapped could be as many as “50,000 to 100,000 children,” Havrylov said, and only 2,000 have been recovered.
“Not so many people understand how the church can support the war. But the Russian Orthodox Church, they’re working like an institution of the Russian government, not like a church,” Havrylov said in oral testimony. “They try especially to erase identity of Ukrainian children and they try to recreate Ukrainian children to Russian mentality.” More Here
