“People are being let through, but their cars and identity papers are checked. Civilian vehicles have also come under fire, and there have been victims. Yesterday, they shot at an ambulance,

Thanks agere contra,

I’m not on either side, but the one-sided pro Ukrainian propaganda coming out of the Anglosphere media, is getting a little bit thick, for my taste.

P.S. I’ve always enjoyed some of your “economic talk” over the years. Keep it up & take care.

Now if they shot at trains carrying civilian passengers that would really get you worked up.

I copied this over from an earlier thread.

I spent most of a decade in Moscow, and have spent weeks in Ukraine, and as such have many friends, American, Russian, and Ukrainian, who are even now on the ground in several locations.

What is happening is close to 25 year sop, but this is not the point here.

The following request for prayer are happening —



Received 6:09pm* (Mountain), 3/10/22 |

From my mom (Chandler, AZ) to me -

“This is from Igor, our close friend.

*URGENT: Please pray and copy/share with others (minus names)
“Urgent need for prayer. Right now near Kiev are buses of Christian volunteers from Western Ukraine who were evacuating people.

These buses have been surrounded and are under seige.

One of the drivers is our relative. Please send this to anyone you can. Tonight frost is expected below -10° degrees celsius.”
I may not be able to learn what happened next.

This is the third instance of a group of unarmed Christian’s with busses trying to evacuate elderly, handicapped, and women and children.

They have encountered many wounded and dying, including many injured and orphaned children.

Some of the Christian’s have been shot, including Russian, Ukrainian, and foreign.

As well, I personally have good American friends on the ground in several locations across Ukraine.

Some of them long term missionaries, and some have now gone silent anywhere from 3-12 days now...

At this point, if for no other reason than “FOR RECORD” I have reached out Congressman and Senators, and friends in EUCOM Molesworth, Germany, Poland, and Romania, and IC.

Some of my friends in the abc’s (including a few GS 15’s in DC area, who are obviously in sig positions), have received blowback from poc’s at State and NSC, and or careless disposition, when knowledge and whereabouts were passed along, of Americans in need of help over two weeks ago, or Americans trying to evacuate Ukrainians -

🇺🇸 My mother in AZ is correct, we need to pray for all involved -
Please pass along...

********************

From Northern VA -

“Mariupol has been under deadly siege as you know. Hundreds of thousands are in trouble. There are many evangelical Christians there, and I know many are very pro American.

A number of towns near Mariupol have been erased. Many dead, all ages...”

********************

“Evacuation registration from Lviv to Germany, Bauttsen continues.
We organize bus trips from Lviv to the border with Poland, coordinate the border crossing and from the Polish side, German buses meet and take them to Germany, Bauttsen.

Here local churches, city authorities and city citizens will provide comfortable housing to all refugees and take them to full coverage. While the refugees are coming into their homes, we are engaged in registering them, issuing benefits and searching for permanent housing. We consider our task accomplished when the Refugees who came to us according to our program will lie on their couch, in their apartment and build a new life.”

Phones to record an evacuation:
+380668537301
+380965938571

Doing good together.

********************

These are now 12 days and 8 days old respectfully, and we have lost contact with my brothers in Christ, but wanted you to hear these interviews from the ground 🎚

Neither one of these brothers would leave their congregations, even if it costed them their lives...
Great detail of efforts from 12 and 8 days ago, and disposition of ACTUAL encounters —

Interview with a friend of mine over at OneForIsrael

In top of the desperate request for prayer from Igor and the group of Christian’s trying to evacuate the elderly, handicapped, and woman and children from yesterday, I wanted to refresh the urgent request for prayer, for each of these...

We have lost contact with each of these for now...

AND if you so choose, don’t hesitate to circulate this request for prayer for Gods grace and protection, as I am confident Gods grace is now all they have -

Last phone interview with Scott (8 days ago), with another missionary friend of mine from years ago, Dan Glick.

Significant fighting around his area, and many unarmed and innocent people being hurt and killed -
