While Russian propaganda claims Ukraine persecutes Christians, evidence from occupied territories tells a different story: pastors are tortured with electrodes and needles for refusing to transform their confession booths into FSB listening posts.

Imagine a billionaire fleeing to Moscow after treason charges, then crying on Russian TV about American “Christian persecution.” That’s what just happened — in reverse.
Tucker Carlson just handed his platform to Vadim Novinsky — Russia-born fugitive worth $1.4 billion, wanted in Ukraine for treason — who echoed the Kremlin’s claims about Kyiv “persecuting Christians” from his European exile.
“Ukraine has launched a campaign of persecution against Christians,” declared Novinsky, attending Russian Orthodox services in Zurich while complaining to Western cameras.
Here’s what the Kremlin-linked oligarch forgot to mention: in occupied Ukraine, his beloved church system shoves needles under pastors’ fingernails to force them into Russian spies.
While Trump’s team signals Ukraine may never join NATO to appease Putin, the security state Putin built is electrocuting Protestants for being “American spies” — genuinely shocked that their churches aren’t already wiretapped.
