On June 4, 2025, during a meeting in Washington with 23 US senators, Yelensky, along with Pastor Mykhailo Brytsyn from the Protestant Church in Melitopol, spoke about the religious situation in Ukraine. In his speech, the DESS head highlighted violations of freedom of faith in the occupied territories: the destruction of churches and the persecution of priests.
