About us

RussiaTorturesChristians.org is the project created by the team who are also running Ukraine Freedom Project, a US based 501(c)(3) organization.

In late 2022, Moore met Viktor Cherniavskyi, and was moved by Viktor’s horrific story of torture at the hands of a Russian Orthodox priest. As Moore met more Ukrainian evangelical Christians who had been tortured by Russians, he and his team created this website to bring a voice to their suffering and attention to this untold story.

Steven E. Moore

Steven Moore is a former chief of staff in the U.S. House of Representatives who has been in Ukraine since day 5 of the war.

His NGO, the Ukraine Freedom Project (UFP), started as a humanitarian organization. Since March of 2022, UFP has delivered some 250 tons of food to areas impacted by the war, supplied dozens of hospitals with medical supplies, helped put thousands of pieces of body armor on Ukrainians and delivered Starlinks, drones, generators, and other aid to areas near the front. Moore has been to the front himself a dozen times.

With his years of experience on Capitol Hill, Moore has also become a trusted source of information to members of Congress and their staff. In addition to humanitarian work, the Ukraine Freedom Project provides firsthand, data-driven information to policymakers and the media about the situation in Ukraine.

In late 2022, Moore met Viktor Cherniavskyi, and was moved by Viktor’s horrific story of torture at the hands of a Russian Orthodox priest (featured on this site). As Moore met more Ukrainian evangelical Christians who had been tortured by Russians, he created this website to bring a voice to their suffering and attention to this untold story.

The Russians have taken note of Moore’s effectiveness in Ukraine and placed him on their hit list of foreign combatants.
