Ukraine is entangled in a corruption scandal. It is easy to complain about this, but Christians also have another calling, says Oleksii Blyzniuk.

When missiles fly over your flat almost every night, you don’t sleep well. Oleksii Blyzniuk shares how he and his family decided to leave the capital of Ukraine.

As people, we tend to plan our lives ahead carefully. However, when it becomes war, this changes very much, Oleksii Blyzniuk from Ukraine writes.

At the end of April 2025, the queer film festival "Sunny Bunny" took place in Kyiv. It sparked significant public controversy due to it taking place during the Easter holidays.

Ukraine is giving more pastors an exemption from conscription. However, whether this will work in practice remains a big question, says Oleksii Blyzniuk.

God can work in miraculous ways, even amidst war and corruption. Columnist Oleksii experienced this in his own life.

How is the situation of religious freedom in Ukraine? In his previous column, Oleksii Blyzniuk underlined the dilemma of a ban on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for its ties with Russia. Now, this ban has come into force. What does that mean?

Ukraine has a dilemma. The country must decide about the future of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, which belongs to the Moscow Patriarchate. Columnist Oleksii Blyzniuk writes that banning it would risk the much-needed foreign support, but keeping it means keeping a pro-Kremlin organisation in the country.

In the next column, Oleksii will write from the front. But now, he still wears civilian clothes. He is disappointed that the revised recruitment law did not end the space for corruption.

Ukrainian men are not always willing to defend their country. Corruption abounds, according to columnist Oleksii Blyzniuk.
