At the local farmers market this morning I talk to a Ukrainian Christian who had warned me several weeks ago about what was going to happen in Ukraine. I went back this morning on purpose to ask him his take on the situation. He said something I had not heard before, and I wonder if anyone has any research on this. He claimed that the United States military equipment which was left in Afghanistan was taken by bad actors in the Middle East and a lot of it brought into Ukraine and positioned at the border between Ukraine and Russia. He said he supports Putin and Russia (“they’re my people too. We are all the same.”), and said Russia is responding to people trying to start a war and using the US military equipment to do it.
By the end of our discussion he was in tears. He’s obviously very broken up about it. He said the evil is so great. Then he paused and collected himself and said “but God is bigger” and God is good… but this sure is hard.
This is just one man’s opinion, and you don’t know me so you shouldn’t take this as truth without doing your own research of course. But I thought it was worth sharing here.
Edit: I don’t know if he straight up said he supports Putin. What I do remember is him saying, “what else do you expect the Russians to do.” Then he told me to go listen to Putin‘s speeches.
