How about that “great” christian putin helping persecuted Christians in separatist controlled Donbas?

“Ukraine: Christians threatened with firing squads and pastors held hostage”

http://www.christiantoday.com/article/ukraine.christians.threatened.with.firing.squads.and.pastors.held.hostage/41224.htm

“Report says Christians persecuted in Donetsk and Luhansk...Ministers of Evangelical churches and their property are among the most affected, but clerics belonging to the Greek Catholic Church, Roman Catholic Church and Ukrainian Orthodox Church, as well as their property, have also been subject to violence. Pro-Russian gunmen terrorised churches and ministers in Donetsk and in other towns of the region, such as Sloviansk, Horlivka, Shakhtarske, Druzhkivka, Torez, and Debaltseve. Antratsyt, Pervomaiske, Krasnyi Luch, and Rovenki, in the Luhansk area, have also been threatened.”

I took a look at your links - seems the reports are from something called the Vsi Razom Civil Movement. So it sounds like Kiev anti-Russian propaganda in an attempt to garner support from American Evangelicals.

We should all be more skeptical of sources - it seems we humans don't challenge news that conforms or confirms to our beliefs.
