American evangelical pastor Mark Burns, who has been referred to in the media as the personal spiritual adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump, has announced that he plans to visit Ukraine again in the coming days. This decision comes after his previous trips to the country, which were marked by public advocacy for Ukraine and discussions on strengthening the relationship between the United States and Ukraine.
Burns’ ongoing efforts to engage with Ukrainian religious leaders and community members highlight the increasing involvement of American religious figures in international political matters. His visits are often seen as a way to bolster U.S. influence and support for Ukraine, particularly in the context of ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region.
While Burns’ primary role has been spiritual, his interactions with political figures have occasionally drawn attention. The media has portrayed him as a key spiritual advisor to Trump, though he has maintained that his role is strictly advisory and not tied to political decision-making. As he prepares for his upcoming visit, the focus remains on the potential impact of his religious and moral leadership on the evolving U.S.-Ukraine relationship.
