When Hate Threatens to Overcome Love
Chaplains serving on the front lines have shared a deeply sobering truth with us: it is dangerous when our hate becomes stronger than God’s love. The following reflection invites us into their lived experience—where the realities of war collide with the call to love.

A Chaplain With a Big Heart
Pastor Yevhen lives and serves in the combat zone in south Ukraine. Every day, he witnesses the pain of people suffering from the consequences of war, and he strives to be there for those who need support the most.
“I cannot allow myself to go to suffering and needy people empty-handed. I sincerely thank the HART Mission, which gives the opportunity and resources to go and serve people not only with words, but also with practical help,” says Pastor and Chaplain Yevhen.

Assessment & Trends of the War Over the Last Two Weeks
For more than twelve years, Ukraine has been defending itself against an escalating Russian invasion that seeks to erase the Ukrainian state from the map of Europe and overturn the existing world order. So far, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has been unable to defeat Ukraine on the battlefield or break the Ukrainian nation’s resistance. Despite this lack of progress, however, he shows no sign of compromising on his maximalist goals.
Many in the West are still in denial over the scale of the threat posed by Putin’s Russia and continue to believe a negotiated settlement is the only realistic option to end the war. This is dangerously delusional. In reality, attempting to make deals with Putin today is as shortsighted as seeking to bargain with Adolf Hitler at the height of World War II. In the 1940s, the Allies rejected that idea because they recognized Hitler would never stop and had to be defeated. There is a desperate need for such clarity today.

- The safe return of kidnapped children & healing for broken families.
- Comfort for the grieving & restoration for the wounded.
- Protection of cities, villages, and civilians from relentless attacks.
- Global perseverance in standing with Ukraine during this long struggle.
- Wisdom and courage for world leaders as they confront tyranny.
