On February 5, 2026, a landmark event took place at the U.S. Capitol, bringing the world together in support of Ukraine. The conference “Freedom Has a Name, and It’s Called Ukraine”, held under the leadership of Pastor Mark Burns — spiritual advisor to Donald Trump — and hosted on the platform of ALLATRA International Public Movement, became a space for an open and sincere dialogue on sovereignty and human dignity.
In this video, Gary (Yuri) Tabach shares his story — a retired U.S. Navy Captain (O-6) with 26 years of service. As the first U.S. Navy officer born in the USSR, he made a choice that forever connected his life to the fate of Ukraine.
What began as a one-day trip turned into 12 years of dedicated service and support for Ukraine. This is a story of true leadership — the kind that unites hearts — and of the vital need to stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against evil. A particularly symbolic moment of the meeting was the presentation of a genuine Cossack saber to Pastor Mark Burns, as a sign of unbreakable unity and a shared purpose. Before you is a story of choice, courage, and an unwavering belief that light will prevail.
