In southern and eastern parts of Ukraine being held by Russian forces, an “election” is being held on whether they should officially become part of Russia. The outcome of the “voting” is not in doubt. The numbers that are reported will certainly show overwhelming support for the proposal. What those who braved the danger to vote actually wanted will not matter. This is nothing less than a political escalation of war, and it could quickly lead to an expansion of the military war, with Russia pouring even more troops into the beleaguered country. Putin is using every means at his disposal to win the war, and the Ukrainian people are paying the highest price. Please pray for them today, and know that we are standing with them, taking help to those who need it most.
“Voting” Ends Today
