In this powerful episode of Peace and Power Ukraine, host Gary Marx sits down with Chelsea Patterson Sobolik, Director of Government Relations at World Relief and a leading voice for vulnerable children across the globe. With deep personal ties to Eastern Europe and a professional background shaped by years of advocacy on Capitol Hill and within the evangelical community, Chelsea sheds light on a horrifying and underreported atrocity: the systematic abduction of Ukrainian children by Russia. From her own adoption story to a coalition-led letter urging President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio to make the return of Ukraine’s stolen children a precondition for peace, Sobolik connects the dots between geopolitics, religious freedom, and the rights of children in conflict zones. She also exposes Russia’s forced adoption and military indoctrination of these children—violations of international law that should concern us all. This is not just a policy discussion. It’s a moral call to action. Topics include: - The dark legacy of institutional child removal in Eastern Europe - Russia’s use of child abductions as a wartime tactic - Why international law matters for children during conflict - What the faith community is doing—and can still do—to fight back - Why bipartisan leadership in Congress matters now more than ever
