Before the Russo-Ukrainian war, 99 per cent of Protestants in Ukraine were pacifist. But now, they are willing to defend their country with weapons. What happened? Baptist pastor Igor Bandura explains.
When Igor Bandura (born 1970) was a young boy, he had moral objections against the godless Soviet Union and did not want to go in the army in 1989. But he had no choice, and so he was there during the coup in Moscow in August 1990.
But now, Bandura is no pacifist anymore. And that is the same for most of his Baptist brothers.
