Mark Burns, the personal spiritual advisor to US President Donald Trump, visited Bucha and Irpin, he announced on Instagram on March 31.
During his trip, he described the war in Ukraine as a humanitarian crisis beyond politics, emphasizing that real people are dying regardless of political affiliations.
“20,000 children have been kidnapped and stolen to Russia. 300 women were recently raped, as reported by multi-faith religious leaders. 700 religious buildings have been destroyed on purpose because they are often the only source of hope offered to the Ukrainian people,” Trump’s spiritual advisor stated.
He recounted harrowing testimonies, describing innocent civilians executed with their hands tied behind their backs and young soldiers blown apart by Russian attack drones. Burns said he had seen photos of dead children and elderly victims and heard firsthand accounts of pastors executed on their knees.
“These soldiers on the front lines are not asking for money. They are asking for 1,000 tanks, 300 F-35s, anti-air weapons to shoot down the drones that still fire at civilian buildings, and killing people,” Burns wrote.
He stressed that Trump was Ukraine’s “greatest friend” and that many Ukrainians were grateful to America for standing by them.

Burns, who was invited to Ukraine by Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman, urged prayers for peace and insisted his trip was not politically motivated. He affirmed his loyalty first to Jesus Christ and second to his nation and President Donald J. Trump.
Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman confirmed Burns’ visit, noting that his words carry weight in shaping US strategy and policy.
Azman said Burns was invited to see the consequences of Russian war crimes firsthand in Bucha, Irpin, and Borodyanka, as well as listen to eyewitness testimonies.
“What he saw deeply shocked him—he couldn’t hide his pain, outrage, and sincere sympathy,” Azman wrote.
The rabbi emphasized that Burns is someone who can be heard when major decisions are made.

Earlier, reports emerged that in the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian prison administrations were instructed to torture captured Ukrainian soldiers.
At the onset of the invasion, Igor Potapenko, head of FSIN for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, allegedly told an elite unit of the service—presumably FSIN’s special forces—to “be brutal and show no mercy to prisoners.”
Potapenko reportedly emphasized that violence against Ukrainian POWs would face no restrictions, and body cameras that could capture evidence of torture were removed from officers’ uniforms.
