Last week, I had the rare opportunity to travel to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, to interview the most consequential and controversial leader in Europe.
President Volodomyr Zelenskyy and I spent 45 minutes in the Situation Room in the presidential compound talking about Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, the Alaska summit, war crimes, and NATO unity.
We also discussed the importance of protecting religious freedom, the tragic spike in Christian persecution, the importance of reading the Bible, the power of prayer, and why he recently hosted the largest prayer breakfast in Ukrainian history.
The first half of our exclusive conversation aired on Thursday night on THE ROSENBERG REPORT, my prime time weekly program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the most watched Christian television network in the United States and around the globe.
In the days to come, I’ll share with our ALL ISRAEL NEWS readers the full transcript of the interview.
But allow me to share with you now some excerpts.
PUTIN HAS DESTROYED MORE THAN 600 CHURCHES, ZELENSKYY CHARGES
“Some critics in the West, such as Tucker Carlson, have accused you of persecuting Christians, imprisoning priests, and shutting down churches,” I noted, asking, “How do you respond?”
Zelenskyy unequivocally rejected the accusation.
He argued that Ukraine today has stronger and more robust religious freedom than any one of the former Soviet republics, and especially more than Russia.
What’s more, he said that it is Russian President Vladimir Putin who is systematically attacking Ukrainian Christians, targeting and destroying Ukrainian churches, and killing and kidnapping Ukrainian pastors and priests.
“Those claims [that I am persecuting Christians] are false and manipulative,” Zelenskyy told me.
“Over 70% of Ukrainians are [Christian] believers, and our churches have always been free,” he said.
“In fact, there are over one million Protestants in Ukraine today.”
“The reality is that Russia has bombed more than 600 churches – destroying Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and others,” he added.
“In Odesa, they [the Russian military] even destroyed our main cathedral with missiles.”
Scores of Ukrainian pastors and priests have been murdered, kidnapped, and ‘disappeared’ by Russian forces.
