rollo tomasi: "Zelenskyy doesn't pray to Christ so why should anyone pray for his realm?"

"Realm"? Seriously? Ukraine is not a "realm" or kingdom, rather, it's a constitutional unitary republic (not a federal state).
Ukraine holds presidential elections every five years and has only once reelected an incumbent, every other election chose a new president from a different political party.

As for Pres. Zelenskyy's religion, his ancestry is Jewish and most of his then living ancestors died in the WWII Holocaust, which should end all claims that Ukrainians are "Nazis".

Today Jews are about 1/2 of 1% of all Ukrainians.
85% of Ukrainians are Christians.
12% of Ukrainians have no formal religion.

These numbers compare to the USA and Russia, both of which are today about 65% Christians and 30% no formal religions.

As for our praying for Zelenskyy himself, St. Paul told us, in 1 Timothy 2:1–4,

However, if you just can't bring yourself to pray for a leader of Jewish ancestry, you might then consider praying for the 85% of Ukrainians who are practicing Christians.

rollo tomasi: "Just commenting on your asinine meme since Zelenskyy supports homosexuality which is an abomination to God.
Maybe God is judging Ukraine and if that is the case maybe we should pray for Ukraine to repent."

Well, of course, all Christians should repent regularly, since, as St. Paul also tells us,

But Zelenskyy cannot be said to "support homosexuality" in any sense more than, for example, Donald Trump "supports homosexuality".
For example, in recent years US laws have been changed to grant "equal rights" to same-sex couples and Donald Trump has not called for the repeal of any of those new laws.

Of course, Trump does not support transgendered child mutilation, or pornography in grade school libraries, or biological men competing in women's sports.
Nor, so far as I've ever seen does Ukraine's Pres. Zelenskyy.

rollo tomasi: "Goes for Russia as well,l minus the homosexuality because they condemn that but are evil in other ways."

Under Vladimir Putin's leadership statistics for Russians say they went from around 45% Christians and 47% no religion to today roughly 65% Christians and only 30% no formal religion.
Those current numbers are about the same as for the USA.
Of course, Putin himself is a murderous KGB empire-building dictatorial thug, not a Christian.

rollo tomasi to UMCRevMom@aol.com: "Needless to say, you are a tool spreading bad propaganda."

Not by any definition of the word "propaganda" that I've seen.
But, if you wish to quote any specific words posted here which you feel qualify as "propaganda", I'll be happy to review and discuss those words with you.
