‘De-Putin-isation’ Is Only Hope For Civilised World, Polish PM Insists

Poland’s Prime Minister insisted on Wednesday that he believes Vladimir Putin to be more dangerous than Hitler or Stalin due to “deadlier weapons” being at the Russian President’s disposal and his ability to spread propaganda en masse through the internet.

“Putin is neither Hitler nor Stalin. Unfortunately, he is more dangerous,” Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki asserted in an article published to the Telegraph. “Not only does he have deadlier weapons at his disposal, but he also has the new media at his fingertips to spread his propaganda.”

Vladimir Putin’s “accursed” ideology attempts to “resurrect the demons of history,” warned Moraiecki, adding that his aggression is not “insanity” but a “deliberate strategy that has already opened the gates to genocide.”

This ideology is “equivalent of 20th-century communism and Nazism” in-which “human dignity was sacrificed on the altar of insane fantasies” of “world revolution” and race supremacy, he wrote. 

“In the name of this ideology, Mariupol and dozens of Ukrainian cities were razed as it sent Russian soldiers to war, convinced them of their superiority, and encouraged them to commit inhuman war crimes – the murder, rape and torture of innocent civilians,” he charged.

“We cannot be under any illusions,” he continued. Putin’s doctrine “is a cancer which is consuming not only the majority of Russian society, but also poses a deadly threat to the whole of Europe. Therefore it is not enough to support Ukraine in its military struggle with Russia. We must root out this monstrous new ideology entirely.”

The Polish leader further urged that the “only chance for Russia and the civilised world is “deputinisation.”

“If we do not engage in this task immediately, we will not only lose Ukraine, we will lose our soul and our freedom and sovereignty, as well. Because Russia will not stop at Kyiv. She has set out on a long march towards the West and it’s up to us to decide where we stop her.”

Poland, which has accepted into its country millions of Ukrainian refugees, late last month, was cut off from all gas deliveries by Russia’s Gazpromto for declining to pay by rubel.

In response, Morawiecki called the move a “direct attack” on Poland and again insisted that “Europe cannot afford to live in constant danger from Russian aggression.”

Russia, on several occasions, has issued thinly veiled threats about using its nuclear arsenal. This prompted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to insist that the threat was not merely against his country but the entire world.

“Russia is deliberating bragging they can destroy with nuclear weapons, not only a certain country but the entire planet,” he told the Doha Forum via Livestream.

Jack Hibbs, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, in a recent article, discussed what the Bible says about increasing “wars and rumors of wars.”

“Wars and rumors of wars can be a frightening prospect to those who have no idea what’s coming,” he asserted. “But for the Christian who has studied the Bible, the escalation of aggression we are seeing is just one more indicator that we draw closer to the end. Jesus detailed many signs of the times to be looking for in the last days. In addition to the escalation of war, Jesus foretold the escalation of deception, betrayal, hatred, lawlessness, earthquakes, famines, and yes, even pandemics.”

“Why did Jesus tell us that we should expect all of these horrible things? Was He trying to scare us? Doesn’t He know we are already prone to anxiety and worry?” he asked. “Yes, He does know. He knows us better than we know ourselves. It is precisely for that reason He foretold all of these things. His prophecies are reminders to us that He knows the future, and that He has every single detail under control. In the midst of all His warning about the last days, He made it a point to assure us: ‘See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass’ (Matthew 24:6).”

The CCP Is Sending A Chilling Message To All Believers: Obedience To God Will Be Punished

“The impact on China’s Christian community is profound. When a faithful church like Early Rain is repeatedly targeted, the CCP is sending a chilling message to all believers: obedience to God will be punished, and conscience must bow to ideology. Yet history shows that persecution does not extinguish faith — it refines it.”

Christians Are Not Called To ‘Self-Love,’ They Are Called To Self-Denial

Truth is, most of us are already pretty obsessed with ourselves—we love ourselves too much. We’re constantly thinking about our own needs, our own happiness, and we even live in a society that encourages us to do so. But Jesus completely flips the script on the world’s approach to self-focus and self-love. Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."

Bold Ambassadors For Christ Who Were Powerfully Used By God In 2025

In the case of some, it was God's sovereignty that permitted tragic events to unfold, knowing the impact of the Gospel would be worth the cost. In other instances, God raised individuals into higher positions of responsibility, knowing that their prioritizing of Jesus above all else would provide opportunities to proclaim Biblical truth in powerful ways. Here is a list of Christians who were used by God in 2025 to make a tremendous impact.
