Check out my piece with Colby Barrett in today’s Wall Street Journal

OCT 30, 2025

The Ukraine Freedom Project polled Republicans earlier this month. Support for Ukraine has grown dramatically. The folks at the Wall Street Journal saw our poll and let Colby and me write about for their op-ed page. 

Support for military aid for Ukraine is surging among President Trump’s voters, due in part to a shift in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s strategy.

In March 2022, 67% of Trump voters viewed Mr. Zelensky favorably. But between millions of dollars of Russian disinformation directed against him, Mr. Trump’s unflattering accusations and Mr. Zelensky’s own missteps, that figure dropped to 19% by March 2025.

The most obvious misstep came last year, when Mr. Zelensky appeared with Kamala Harris surrogates at a campaign-style event in Pennsylvania, 44 days before the election and 155 days after House Speaker Mike Johnson put his job on the line to pass the $61 billion Ukraine aid bill.

Mr. Zelensky’s team ignored Mr. Trump’s voters. For years certain conservative media personalities turned conservatives against Ukraine, while pro-Ukraine forces respond on CNN, MSNBC or “60 Minutes.”

Now Mr. Zelensky gives interviews on “The Ben Shapiro Show,” “Special Report with Brett Baier” and Newsmax. In August, the Ukrainian president hosted an American-style prayer breakfast in Kyiv, attracting thousands of believers from Ukraine, America and across the globe. Soon after, the well-liked Trinity Broadcasting Network host Joel Rosenberg interviewed Mr. Zelensky in Kyiv.

Since June, Ukraine Freedom Project polling has shown a 22-point swing in support for military aid among religious conservatives and an 18-point swing among Republicans who attend church weekly. Mr. Zelensky’s change in tactics more than doubled his rating among Trump voters in the last seven months. Why is this important? Our poll of Republican primary voters in October found that 78% of Republicans who like Mr. Zelensky also favor military aid to Ukraine.

In this episode, political strategist Steven Moore, who has extensive experience as a senior leadership aide in the U.S. Congress, discusses his journey from Capitol Hill to advocating for Ukraine. Moore highlights his efforts to garner Republican support for Ukraine through his deeply moving film, ‘Faith Under Siege,’ which documents the challenges faced by Ukrainian Christians. He emphasizes the importance of truthful, impactful narratives in changing public opinion and combating Russian disinformation. Moore also sheds light on the significant role that Republican voters and evangelicals play in shaping U.S. foreign policy.
