Montana Senator Steve Daines (who joined IFA at our Champions for Life banquet) recently became the first Senator to visit Ukraine. It was there that he saw firsthand the war crimes committed.

From Fox News. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., became the first U.S. senator to visit Ukraine amid the Russian invasion, touring the mass graves in the city of Bucha and reporting “indisputable evidence of Putin’s war crimes.” He traveled with Rep. Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., who was herself born in Ukraine.

“While meeting with leaders in NATO countries bordering Ukraine, I was invited to meet Ukrainian officials in Kyiv and Bucha and see firsthand the butchery and war crimes committed by Putin,” Daines said in a statement. “There is indisputable evidence of Putin’s war crimes everywhere—the images of shallow mass graves filled with civilians, women and children are heart-wrenching.”

Daines told Fox News’ “Your World with Neil Cavuto” on Thursday, “I’ve seen a lot of horrific things over the years in terms of storm damages and accidents. I’ve never seen anything like this. I mean, these were children. These were children who were murdered….”

Daines concluded in his statement that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “has been urging leaders from around the world to come to Ukraine—I’m proud to help show that America stands shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine in their fight for freedom,” the senator concluded….

Hours after Daines’ trip, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that the White House was not considering sending President Biden to Ukraine….

Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that his government had launched an investigation into alleged Russian atrocities in the area around the capital city of Kyiv, from which Russian forces had recently withdrawn….

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Kyiv of setting up a “stage-managed anti-Russian provocation….”

I think we need to look at the last sentence above in the article….. I shave heard lots about how neo-nazis in Ukraine are staging things to look like Putin/Russia did them. The Bidens and other Americans have much to gain by covering up their ownership of the Bio-weapon plants and of much of Ukrain itself. I have also heard about Putin NOT being part of the World Bank and One World Order. God works even with those who are not spotless… article quote below
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Kyiv of setting up a “stage-managed anti-Russian provocation….”

I am so proud of our Senator Steve Daines for being the very first senator to visit Ukraine bringing attention to the atrocities done against the people of Ukraine and also giving the Ukrainians hope that the United States cares!

“For He ( God) has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned His back on them, but has listened to their cries for help (‭‭Ps.22:24‬ ‭NLT‬).”‬

Thank God for leaders in our government like Senator Steve Daines, who will expose the truth. Don’t EVER expect Biden to do so. He is constitutionally incapable of being honest. The same people who put him in the Presidency, the Globalist Elite, are no doubt the very same people behind Putin invading Ukraine. I just pray that the war will end soon, and the whole truth will be revealed. Thank You and praise you in advance, Lord.

I pray for the CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST in Ukraine and Russia. I pray for the lost would that they find salvation and safety in our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST.
I don’t trust Zelenskyy or anything he says. I believe he would murder his own citizens to manipulate other world leaders, especially fake president biden. Fraudulent biden has everything to lose when the TRUTH is exposed about his dealings in Ukraine. Putin is not an innocent by-standing world leader. I believe he saw the opportunity biden gave him with biden’s weak and confused image. It emboldened Putin to act as he did.

I believe FATHER GOD is using what the enemy meant for evil, and use it to turn souls to JESUS CHRIST. No, I don’t believe FATHER GOD started this war, but I do believe HE will use it for good in the lives of those who put their trust in HIM. LORD willing, and we pray it will end soon.

I pray for the war to end and a peaceful solution to be implemented! I pray all the innocent citizens would be protected and delivered by your hand, I pray that all crimes, war crimes and crimes before the invasion be exposed and people be held accountable. I trust for and pray that your protection for the churches in both Ukraine and Russia to be on full display and they would be affective in bring the unsaved to you! I pray that all nations will act according to your will and not pursue any political agenda. Be with all the leaders involved to search for and find your will through the Holy Spirit! Let there be Peace!

Lord, I pray you would continue to reveal corruption in any arena where it is being harbored in ukraine- and in Russia’s government and with Putin.. I pray you will continue to provide protection and safe harbor- and protected escape routes for the innocent people, the citizens of Ukraine.
I pray that you would cause the aggression by the Soviets to stop- and for evacuation of ukrainians to be successful in your miraculous provision in the Ukraine- that the war would stop. I pray you would continue to provide food, shelter and clothing,and needed provision..for the innocent people Ukraine, andv for the Ukrainian soldiers, and I pray you would provide Safe Harbor for Russian soldiers to be removed from the Ukraine-to go back to their Homeland.
As for the war crimes committed, Lord,I pray that you would expose those- and bring those who have committed these crimes to accountability.. Lord. And. in all these things I pray always..that those who are willing to turn from Evil and do good and turn their hearts over to You,Lord Jesus,..would be allowed that opportunity .
I pray also and lift up to you pastors Maxim and Vitaly, that you would continue their protection- provision, and encouragement.
I pray all these things in Jesus name, Amen

I cannot believe the atrocities committed during this war, and the world needs to be aware of what is going on. I never believed that I would see what this nation has deteriorated to and I am a veteran. Sen. Daines trip was much needed. I pray constantly and will continue.

I wish you’d avoid grandstanding over this Ukraine war. We know Putin is the aggressor. But Ukraine is filled with reported child trafficking tunnels where the elite murder and torture children. Zelensky is a puppet of the globalists. There is so much evil on both sides and sanctioned by the government that we can’t take sides. We just have to pray for the church and the innocents.

    And what proof do you have of all these tunnels? How do you know there’s not more sex trafficking in the US than there is in the Ukraine? I really would like to see some proof, not some website that fails every credibility test, which is all I’ve seen so far!

    When reading your comment, I was reminded of this poem.

    FIRST THEY CAME By Martin Niemöller
    First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Socialist
    Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews
    And I did not speak out
    Because I was not a Jew
    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me.

I really pray for people’s discernment on this matter. Unless one has seen the actual crime being committed with their own eyes, we need to be cautious.

There is no more need to get proof. We are stagnantly standing by the sidelines watching genocide and Satan incarnate to continue his rampage. I am appalled that nothing is being done to take out Putin. What more proof does one need. Wake up people. Pray for strategy for this evil doer to be taken out fast BEFORE WWlll and the take over of Ukraine and Zelenskyy.
Ezekiel 7:23
‘Make the chain, for the land is full of bloody crimes and the city is full of violence
Proverbs 3:27-
“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is do, when it is in your power to act.

    You’re Blind. Ukraine is a disaster and incredibly corrupt. Their leaders are no better than the Russian leaders. We shouldn’t be taking sides. It’s like rooting for one criminal gang over another.

        Is not a contest…just because the U.S. is corrupt, does not negate the facts of Ukraine’s similar corruption. We need to pray for the LORD God to help us suss out the corruption in both places. But continuing to tout Ukraine’s government as the purest of victims is foolhardy. There is subterfuge afoot. The Ukrainian citizens need to deal with their own government. Humanitarian aid should be sent immediately. But the U.S. should not be goaded by ‘one worlders’ into a situation where we have any part in the actual physical war. Putin is, of course, demonically controlled. But Zelensky is no angel. Look carefully into the forces that brought Zelensky into power…you’ll likely not be shocked to see the dirty political hands behind the machinations…the Biden family has their fingerprints all over the corruption. Pay close attention to Burisma, Hunter’s actions, Daddy Joe’s video recorded threats to the Ukrainian government (the TRUE quid pro quo) and the actions of the World Economic Forum and the Council on Foreign Relations…..I’m simply praying for help for the innocents in all countries, for a spiritual revival in the entire earth….

          The only way that we will live without all of this corruption and ungodly behavior will be when Jesus comes back to rule and Reign. THEN, and only then, will the truth come forth. The corrupt will be dealt with. We just need to trust the Lord, and in His timing.

Ecclesiastes 3:8 To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:….a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Daniel 2:19-22 “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever for wisdom and power belong to Him. He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings and establishes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals the deep and hidden things;
He knows what lies in darkness and light dwells with Him.

Luke 22:35-36 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you out without purse or bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. “Now, however,” He told them, “the one with a purse should take it, and likewise a bag; and the one without a sword should sell his cloak and buy one.

Acts 8:1 And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

Jeremiah(Yirmeyah) 32:27 (Orthodox Jewish Bible) Hinei, I am Hashem Elohei Kol Basar; is there any thing too difficult for Me?

Heavenly Father, You are Adonai-Tzva’ot, The Commander of all Heavenly Armies. You are the God of All Flesh who told Jeremiah “I am Hashem Elohei Kol Basar; is there any thing too difficult for Me?” I praise You for The Bible which clearly speaks Your word to us. And I praise You as the “I AM” for there are not enough words in the languages of the world to characterize Your supremacy. Please Lord, hear our prayers for Ukraine. Because all power belongs to You, would You reveal those deep and hidden things being planed by their enemy? Would You reveal personally and intimately, the darkness dwelling in Vladimir Putin and his cohorts? Certainly this revelation will drop them to their knees in grief and despair. I pray the season for removal is here. I pray Vladimir Putin is removed in the way You deem necessary. I pray his generals are removed in the same manner. I pray the time to hate has ended in the hearts and minds of those who have devastated Ukraine. I Praise the Name of Jesus Christ over the Ukraine and Russia and pray He will usher in the time for peace. Amen

    Susan,
    I stand in agreement with your declaration of “season for removal”, and really, really love the scripture you always provide with your comments. The Word of God is truly more powerful than a two-edged sword…
    IFA is such a God-given weapon in this time of trouble. I am concerned about the comments that are not in unison with the spirit of our endeavor since even Christ’s power was deluded by unbelief. Those who dell in the valley of relativism “Ukranians are just as evil..” seem to be sitting in the seat of scoffers:
    “(Psalm 1:1 KJV) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers”
    Then again, as we are emerging from the birth-pangs of Matthew 24 perhaps it is part of God’s training ground for the Tribulation.
    Thanks again – press on
