In a message, Rakhuba said, "With new reports raising concerns that Russia and Ukraine may be on the brink of war, my heart bleeds for people on both sides of this conflict. I love the Russian people and have committed my life and ministry to them, but I cannot justify the actions of the Kremlin.

"I urge the global Christian community to join with church leaders and Christians from both of these brother nations to pray and fast for the end to this dangerous situation and for the leaders of these countries."

He went on to say that Alexander Turchinov, the new acting president of Ukraine and an evangelical Christian, has called on his nation and the world to pray.

He added that Yuri Sipko, a prominent evangelical Russian leader and former president of the Union of Evangelical Christians-Baptists of Russia, has issued this challenge to the Church in Russia to resist pro-war rhetoric and propaganda, and to stand high with their prayers and spiritual responsibility:

"Russian churches, as institutions standing guard over spiritual life, must declare their disagreement with lies. Russian churches must stop armed conflict. Russia must not become an aggressor. Too much blood has been spilled by our people, in order to spill the blood of our brother nation of Ukraine. God's Word proclaims, 'Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good' (Romans 12:21).

Rakhuba went on to say, "As Christians we know that 'our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6: 12).

"Please pray with us specifically that evil forces would be stopped in any attempt to destabilize, divide and conquer Ukraine and that there would be no bloodshed as a result of this conflict and peace would be restored.

"The Church in Russia and Ukraine would emerge stronger and more unified in order to serve as instruments of reconciliation and peace and to be salt and light to those around them."
