With the Russian Orthodox Church announcing they will visit the White House our work seems more timely than ever. The use of the ROC to do soft-power diplomacy for the Kremlin under the guise of religious affairs is deeply troubling. Their culpability in the deaths of Evangelical, Catholic, Orthodox, Baptist and other church personnel in occupied territories, confiscation of church property and declaration of their 'Holy War' is disturbing.

Our book explores the issue of why the ROC represents a danger to European Security & Democracy. Copies are available on Amazon, Ibidem-Verlag and Columbia University Press.

My comrades from Bakhmut and the Donetsk region. I respect these brave women and men so much — they are the souls of Ukraine. I’m proud to know these heroic patriots. With our smiles it is hard to believe we just narrowly missed a missile strike only minutes before. Their calm and cool was impressive.

Europe’s security is being purchased daily by their sacrifices.

Today marks celebrations for the Day of the Ground Forces of Ukraine.

I linked up with our Georgian fighters helping repel Russian invaders in Bakhmut. We were buzzed by a MIG-31 entering Bakhmut and with clear skies we were undoubtedly spotted by Russian drones and targeted with a missile attack as we moved in the city near the tax tower. There was a very close strike but we scrambled and got out ok.

Fighting remains intense as Russian forces are trying to encircle Ukrainian positions. Ukraine will not give up Bakhmut!
