Pastor Mark Burns supports Ukraine and calls for an end to the persecution of ALLATRA

Spiritual advisor to Donald Trump takes clear stance on Ukraine conflict and defends international social movement ALLATRA

Pastor Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to US President-elect Donald Trump, has made an unequivocal commitment to supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia in a video message. In his speech, Burns addressed the Ukrainian people directly and proclaimed: "You are not alone. We are 100 percent with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine."

Making Russia capitulate

The co-founder of the media network The NOW Television Network and founder of the Harvest Praise & Worship Center made it clear that the United States was fully behind Ukraine. Burns explicitly referred to political allies such as US Congressman Joe Wilson, who also supports Ukraine.

"We will force Russia to surrender. Ukraine will not surrender because Ukraine belongs to Ukraine,"_ explained Burns in his message. His central thesis: support for Ukraine is compatible with the "America First" policy - a remarkable positioning in view of the debate about America's role in international conflicts.

"If we must confront Russia, we must do it now. We need to stop them now by making sure Ukraine has everything it needs to defend itself," Burns emphasized. He pointed out that Russia had attacked Ukraine and not the other way around.

Vision for the post-war period

In his speech, Burns also outlined a comprehensive vision for reconstruction after a Ukrainian victory. Support must go beyond the end of the war: "Victory is just the beginning," said the pastor, who describes himself as the "adopted son of Ukraine".

The priorities he mentioned include:

* Rebuilding destroyed infrastructure, hospitals, schools and churches
* Economic recovery through investments in the billions
* Return of teachers to schools so that children can learn again.
* Return of over 20,000 abducted children
* Reunification of church communities that were separated by the war
* Permanent security guarantees so that "neither Russia nor any other nation can ever do this again"

Burns announced that after the victory he would celebrate together with Ukrainians on St. Sophia Square and hold a victory parade "to show the world the resilience of Ukraine and the strength of the Ukrainian people".

Defense of the ALLATRA volunteers

A significant part of the message was dedicated to the defense of the international social movement ALLATRA, with which Burns says he has been working closely since March of this year. According to Burns, the movement is active in various countries - from Rome and Korea to Tanzania and the Czech Republic.

"I've had the privilege of working with ALLATRA volunteers from Rome to Korea. We just returned from Korea and of course are continuing our work in Ukraine as well as here in the United States of America. I have been working closely with them since March of this year and have found them to be true patriots of the beautiful country of Ukraine. They love Ukraine, support it and truly have an open heart that is full of concern for humanity," Burns said, describing the ALLATRA volunteers. The organization campaigns for human rights, for example in the case of an abuse scandal involving African children in the Czech Republic, and raises awareness of the health risks posed by nanoplastics.

Accusations against the media and Russian infiltration

In his speech, Burns drew parallels between the media coverage of ALLATRA, Donald Trump and himself: _"The same media that's attacking President Trump, the same media that's attacking ALLATRA, that's the same media that's saying negative things about me," _ he explained, speaking of smear campaigns.

According to Burns, Trump told him, _"Pastor, you're in the media as much as I am because the media doesn't say kind things about people like us who speak the truth. They want to control their narrative."

The pastor also made serious accusations about Russian influence: _"Russia has done a good job, and its FSB has infiltrated various structures in Ukraine. There are people who speak as if they are speaking on behalf of Ukraine, but in reality they are Russian agents."

Burns reported that one person who persecuted ALLATRA volunteers in Ukraine has now been charged with treason himself.

Among other things, Mark Burns talked about having signed a letter to the Ukrainian government together with Marina (President of ALLATRA) a few days ago.

Democracy and anti-corruption as a strength

Despite his criticism of Russian infiltration, Burns praised the Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities: "I am very proud of the work of the anti-corruption bodies that have recently been set up. This shows that democracy actually works in Ukraine."

He drew a comparison with the work of the FBI in the USA, which tracks down corrupt leaders who accept bribes or destroy the trust of the population. "The same thing is happening in Ukraine today," Burns noted.

Appeal to Ukraine: "Don't attack the voices that help you"

Burns concluded his remarks on ALLATRA with a direct appeal to the Ukrainian leadership and society: "We in Ukraine do not need to attack the voices that help us defend the sovereignty of the Ukrainian state. No. Give them freedom. Work with them."

ALLATRA is "very effective in confronting Russia" and communicating the truth about Russia to the world, the pastor emphasized. "No matter what continent we are on, no matter what nation - you are working at the highest level. It is an honor to fight side by side with you to bring peace and prosperity."

Burns reaffirmed his long-term commitment: "I will never let my brothers and sisters down. We are united for eternity." He ended his message to the Ukrainian people with the words "Slava Ukraine".
