🎙️UFN — Under Fire News: Innovate to be free. Understand to be understood. | The only American reporting daily from Ukraine since 2022
Lviv, Ukraine
Joined October 2011
I’m JP Lindsley, an American journalist advocating for freedom + truth in Ukraine every day since February 24 2022. Follow me to feel the reality of resistance and war. I share what I see with whomever I can—especially skeptics. See 🧵below for story of why I am here ⤵️
If I’d never been to Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it. From afar, to those quite tired of Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until

"Not even Viktor [Orban]'s best speeches could convince [a Ukrainian child whose parents were killed] that Putin is innocent." Zelensky is trying to help European leaders imagine how they will be perceived one day—as they who defied evil or they who out of fear and vanity

The Scarlett and the Black is a rare great film—and based on truth. There was a time when, in faraway Rome, Pope Pius XII, played here by Sir John Gielgud, thought Hitler in faraway Germany could be neutralized through appeasement. A few years later, Nazis surrounded the

In real life the chief officer of Britain's MI6 is called "C" — not "M" as it is in James Bond. Here are harrowing true words from C about the Russian threat to the UK— followed by words from Tennyson as said by Dame Judi Dench in Skyfall. It feels relevant:

Is Orbán in love with Russia, or afraid of it? Meanwhile, in keeping with the spirit of Hungary's 1956 uprising against Moscow communism, a new movement of freedom is grrowing in Budapest—led by a man named Peter Magyar, whose named means Peter the Hungarian.

The Carol of the Bells, called "Shchedryk," was composed in the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a town whose name means "Protective Veil of the Virgin Mary." For 1.5 years, the Russians have trying to take Pokrovsk, but the Ukrainians have held on, making little fortress Pokrovsk

On Thursday, Australian Russell Crowe, in tribute to Matilda, the 10-year-old Ukrainian-Australian girl among those murdered at Bondi Beach, posted his version of the beloved song "Waltzing Matilda." Matilda's Ukrainian immigrant mother said she chose the name "Matilda"

Exposing the Kremlin’s “orthodox “ lies ⤵️
@robertamsterdam Bob, you are paid to say that by Vadym Novynskyi, a Russian Ukrainian oligarch who is currently a deacon in the Russian Orthodox Church in Zurich. Again, the Russian Orthodox Church is paying you to say that the branch of their church in Ukraine is separate from their church. I

This is how the underdog holds on against a much much bigger enemy: Ukrainian precision vs. Russian slop!

In 2023, crowds of people in Sydney were chanting something about the Jews. Australian authorities insisted they were saying, "Where's the Jews," which doesn't even make sense. What do you think the crowds were actually saying? I think sensible people are getting tired of

Hardly anyone goes to church in Russia. Raw church attendance numbers are higher in smaller Ukraine! We can say this clearly: Russia is seeking to destroy Europe's biggest Christian nation. Here in Ukraine I see Christian vibrance & abundance: Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical

@JPLindsley @CEWhiteford @realannapaulina @RepEliCrane @RepVanOrden Do you know what the Moscow Church is really upset about in Ukraine? It's afraid of losing the rights to the property it illegally seized here. Its shadow income from it can be compared to that of drug cartels.We know that politicians in the US are sold for dirty money

Russia is not European, and its ongoing behavior makes this truer by the day. In fact, Russians are the worst type of illegal migrants—those armed with ballistic missiles and tanks. Remigrate Russians now!

“You’re trying to trick me into giving away something.” When I first saw The Princess Bride, I was five or six at home from school, with a mind-altering fever. The movie terrified but aslo beguiled me. Hearing the horrible news about the murder of the film’s director Rob

Is Catherine Whiteford a Russian agent? From here in Ukraine, having seen this to be a country faith and of resistance to tyranny, I want to yell snd even cry seeing how Moscow so cruelly, so successfully attacks Ukrainian Christians while getting accolades in Washington as a
Grateful to @realannapaulina, @RepEliCrane, and @RepVanOrden for standing courageously in defense of religious freedom and speaking out against the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. Yesterday, they stood alongside 180+ Orthodox Christians from the Antiochian, Greek,

"Send in the clowns ... don't bother, they're here ... " Well, maybe next year. 🤢 Ukraine is the only nation in the world that is fighting for what most others are talking about: faith, family, freedom.

Russians, like Islamists, play the victim while trying to destroy the West. Today Kremlin priests lied to Congress, claiming that Ukraine is oppressing them. Meanwhile, the Kremlin is day by day destroying the biggest Christian country in Europe, Ukraine.
The persecution of Christians under Zelenskyy cannot be ignored. I was honored to stand with a delegation from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to raise awareness for the state-backed crackdown on religious freedom. The U.S. must defend Christians and stand for religious liberty,

Russia and its state-run church are every day attacking Ukraine and, in parts of Ukraine they occupy, banning and persecuting Catholics, Ukrainian Orthodox, and Evangelicals. And yet because of the woke-victim voodooery and massive budgets they are able to send Kremlin priests
