[Today's Prayer] Putin Will Finally Bring Out Nuclear Weapons...'Doubling Seoul' Russia Invasion, Ukraine 'Super Milk Gamble'

gapmovement1

As Ukraine's invasion of Russia's mainland continues into its 15th day, the "war equation" has been turned upside down two and a half years into the war. Ukraine, which has been repeatedly pushed by Russia's aggression, has made surprising achievements such as securing a large number of Russia territories and prisoners of war, giving it time to choose its next option, while Russia President Vladimir Putin, who has failed to protect his territory and people, is struggling to fix the situation with a blow to his leadership.


Experts have analyzed that Ukraine's real goal is not to occupy Russia's territory, but to "use long-range missiles," and there are signs that the war in Ukraine will move to a new stage, including the possibility of Putin's nuclear threat.


On the 19th (local time), the Ukraine military claimed that as of that day, it controlled 92 villages across 1250 square kilometers in the Kursk area of Russia. This is more than twice the area of Seoul (605 square kilometers) and larger than the United States New York City (1,214 square kilometers).

In addition, the Ukraine military destroyed three bridges south of the Saym River, which flows near the border. As a result, the border area with Russia south of the Saym River was surrounded on three sides by Ukraine troops advancing on the Ukraine mainland, the Seim River and Kursk. In Russia, the situation of being surrounded by enemies or blocked by a river is called a "cauldron" in military terms, and this is the situation in Russia today, the New York Times (NYT) noted.

Long-range missiles with enormous destructive power were expected to play a "game-changer" role from the beginning of the war. However, at the beginning of the war, the West did not even support Ukraine's persistent demands, considering the possibility of escalation. However, as the situation at the front deteriorated, it supported Iran with a proviso that it would "not be used to attack the Russia mainland."


So far, the United States has not changed its position. White House National Security Council (NSC) National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said in an interview with MSNBC on Jan. 15, "We will continue to work to ensure that Ukraine has the weapons and capabilities it needs to defend itself," making it clear that ATAX is "defensive."

"In the 30 months since the start of the war, the West has repeated a pattern of repeatedly rejecting Ukraine's repeated requests for certain weapons and eventually making concessions," the NYT said, predicting that the "taboo" on long-range missiles could also be broken. Earlier, the United States and Germany refused to provide the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks, which are the most advanced main battle tanks of their respective countries, and finally supported them at Ukraine's repeated requests. United F-16 fighter jets were also supported in the end, despite Zelenskyy's insistent request.

However, there are concerns that Ukraine's ability to use long-range missiles will increase the likelihood of an escalation of Russia's nuclear threat. Last year, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's National Security Council, one of Putin's closest allies, warned that "if part of Russia's land is destroyed in a NATO-backed attack, we will have no choice but to use nuclear weapons." Putin also deployed tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus last year and said that "if there is a threat to the existence of the state, they can theoretically be used."


Already, there have been repeated "faint hints" of nuclear use in Belarus, according to the FT. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said on 18 March that "the escalation of Ukraine could provoke Russia to use nuclear weapons." He also threatened that "the escalation of the war will end in the destruction of Ukraine"

“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” But what is God’s reply to him? “I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” (Romans 11:3-4)

We praise our Jehovah God who gives us hope and strength.


God, we hear that there is no end in sight to the ongoing war, and that the situation may worsen with the mention of long-range missiles and nuclear weapons.


God, our God is a God who constantly speaks to us of hope.


The God who appeared to the prophet Elijah when he was in despair, gave him hope, and raised him up again,


The eternal kingdom of God will come in the lands of Russia and Ukraine,


We believe that God has left behind the members of the world church to pray with constant hope for what is happening in His vision.


And we believe that God has also raised up God's people in Russia and Ukraine to expand His kingdom in prayer for this land.


May Your people pray more fervently for this nation. Through their prayers and worship, may those who are trapped in unspeakable loss praise you again with the true peace you have given them.


May this worship cover all the nations so that they may see the breath of life blowing in from all sides. May the whole earth be filled with the voice of the God who has lifted us from death to life!
