On Sunday, March 30,
Donald Trump's personal spiritual advisor,
Mark Burns, took to X to encourage the president to send weapons to Ukraine as the country attempts to stave off the Russian invasion.
"These soldiers on the front lines are not asking for money. They are asking for 1,000 tanks, 300 F-35s, anti-air weapons to shoot down the drones that still fire at civilian buildings and kill people," he wrote, adding that "it was President Trump who sent Javelins instead of pillows" to Ukraine.
"President Trump is the innocent civilian of Ukraine's greatest friend. He will bring an end to this war. Everyone here in Ukraine is thanking President Trump and America for standing with Ukraine," he continued.

Donald Trump's personal spiritual advisor Mark Burns – whom Time magazine once labeled "Trump's Top Pastor" – visited Ukraine at the behest of Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman. According to
Mediaite, over the weekend of March 29, Burns toured several cities that were hard-hit by Russia including Bucha, Borodianka and Irpin. He later took to X to share
a highlight reel from the trip. The video shows Burns meeting with Ukrainian faith leaders, visiting churches and memorial sites and witnessing the general destruction.
"The war in Ukraine is bigger than Democrats or Republicans, the Left or the Right. Whether you dislike President Trump or [Ukranian] President [Volodymyr] Zelensky, real people are dying here," he captioned the video.

Mark Burns went on to detail the devastation faced by the Ukrainian people: "20,000 children have been kidnapped and stolen to Russia. 300 women were recently [assaulted], as reported by multi-faith religious leaders. 700 religious buildings have been destroyed on purpose because they are often the only source of hope offered to the Ukrainian people. Innocent non-soldiers shot in the back of the head with their hands tied behind their backs," Donald Trump's personal spiritual advisor continued.
"We in America know how fake news lies constantly about our great President Trump. Well, it exists here too to sway popular opinion. When I'm seeing pictures of dead bodies of children and old people, or hear firsthand accounts of pastors having their hands tied behind their backs made to get on their knees and shot in the back of their heads, or the very young citizen soldiers who took up arms getting blown to pieces by attack drones thanking President Trump and begging for more ammunition to defend their homes, young wives, and children, I care less about whether you like President Zelensky or don't want to give more money to Ukraine," Burns wrote.

Mark Burns concluded
his lengthy post, "Pray with me that peace comes quickly in Jesus's name! And no, I've not been paid by no one. I was invited by [Chief Rabbi of Ukraine Moshe Azman], who's done so much to help the refugees in Ukraine. For him and me, it's not about politics, it's about human lives."
"My loyalty is first to the Lord Jesus Christ and second to my nation and president, Donald J. Trump," he added.

In early March, Donald Trump paused military aide to Ukraine. He's since pushed for a minerals deal that would see Ukraine reimbursing the U.S. for any assistance warding off Russia. But on March 30, Trump told NBC News that Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was "trying to back out of the rare earth deal." Russia, meanwhile, has said that it cannot accept the current proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine.
