Today, American pastor Mark Burns shared a photo from a military hospital, surrounded by Ukrainian servicemen. The exact timing of his visit remains unclear.
He captioned the photo on X with "Glory to Ukraine" and hashtags like "spiritual diplomacy". Burns has visited Kyiv several times.
Mark Burns is an evangelical minister and politician in the U.S., known for supporting Donald Trump during elections. He has run for Congress multiple times but has not succeeded. In 2016, the influential magazine Time named him "Trump's chief pastor" and included him in their list of "16 people who influenced the 2016 presidential election".
In April 2025, Burns visited Ukraine at the invitation of Chief Rabbi Moshe Reuven Asman, as reported by BBC. He toured liberated cities in Kyiv Oblast and engaged with religious leaders.
Initially skeptical about supporting Ukraine, he has since changed his stance and now actively advocates for Ukrainian interests.
