The Gospel of a Just Peace: Ukraine’s Struggle Amid Global Uncertainty

As Ukraine continues its fight for survival, the world watches with shifting allegiances and wavering commitments. In this episode of Questions from the Modern World, we sit down with Father Kolisnyk, a Ukrainian Redemptorist priest, to discuss what a just peace truly means for Ukraine and how faith sustains people in the face of war.

🔹 How has the war changed Ukraine’s spiritual landscape?
🔹 What lessons from history shape Ukraine’s approach to diplomacy?
🔹 How does political fatigue in the West impact Ukraine’s struggle?
🔹 What role do global Catholic communities play in standing in solidarity?

Father Ihor speaks candidly about the cost of justice, the weight of global inaction, and why, for many Ukrainians, this is not just a political fight—it is a fight for survival. He challenges Western leaders, including former U.S. President Donald Trump, on their rhetoric and highlights the deep historical wounds that make negotiations with Russia fraught with danger.

💬 “The Russians came, as they have before, to cancel our culture, our language—even our faith.”

This is a conversation about faith, resilience, and the global responsibility to stand for truth.
