In an era when Trump and Putinโs gaslighting lies are causing people to doubt even their own eyes, in a time when it feels like we have been flung into the story 1984, in a time that Ukraine is being blamed for causing Russiaโs brutal attack, EVERYONE must support Ukraine. ๐บ๐ฆ
If you have money then United 24 the site is https://u24.gov.ua/ is a good way to show support, if you canโt then share the truth as widely as you can. Write politicians, post truthful articles, challenge the propaganda when you see it, protest in front of Russian embassiesโฆ. Keep the truth alive.
Please remember, contributors: Don't travel to Russia; remember what happened to the ballerina who was just exchanged in a prisoner swap: she committed the "crime" of donating $51.80 to a charity in support of Ukraine. In these dystopian times, no good deed goes unpunished by monster Putin.
Just donated. Thanks for this post; makes me feel better to have a way to support Zelenskyy and Ukrainians directly. Will be back for more now that I know a legitimate place to send support. Also sent a link to it to several friends and will continue to contribute as I'm able.
No, sadly, they donโt, Viktor, but those of us who do can continue to fly your flag, attend the protests, speak to others about the need to change our administrationโs (U.S.) incorrect and dangerous stance toward Ukraine, write our letters to congress people, send our donations for Ukraineโs many needs, pray our prayers, and continue to turn to our respective bubbles to gather courage and strength when all feels lost.
Victor, your point is very well taken, and yet, the writing that you do is still powerful and extremely important. It renders the experience of one human being in Ukraine as immediate and real to those of us who are so far away. It causes me to realize that we must keep seeing each other And experiencing our own humanity. In this moment, it may or may not change everything, but in the end, that is exactly what WILL change everything. As human beings, we are all still learning to SEE, ourselves, and each other. That LOVE will eventually change everything.
Supporting you and the Ukrainian people from the South of the United States (Louisiana, to be exact) I proudly wear my Ukraine flag t-shirt and drive around this MAGA town with my Ukraine flag bumper sticker. Weโre here for you, we see you, and we will always support you. Slava Ukraini ๐บ๐ฆ๐
The people are with Ukraine...our world leaders such as Trump and Putin are Corrupt. So when you see Americans supporting Ukraine believe the photos. They are real. Americans still have Ukrainian flags outside their homes. Do not give up!
I agree with you - if you want to learn what really happened (I didn't understand until I watched the YouTube and pulled all the primary documents) watch Professor Jeffrey Sachs at Columbia University - he is an advisor to 100s of top officials and essentially 'outted' US foreign policy - it's incredibly insightful and edifying... https://youtu.be/SebOLOnxWl8?feature=shared
We see you and know your sacrifice. The support is real ,but will never be enough until the war on Ukraine sovereignty is won. Ukraines plight has exposed injustice and cruelty at the hands of a greedy dictator . It has also taught me lessons of humanity, strength, and courage as expressed by Ukraines people and the honorable leader..Zelensky. Slava Ukraine ๐บ๐ฆโฅ ๐บ๐ฆ โฅ
I support Ukraine because it succeeded where Hong Kong failed. Much of the overseas Ukrainians support Ukraine because they want Russia to lose badly so they can go home, help rebuild and introduce things they like living overseas into Ukraine to help it move forward. Taiwan supports Ukraine because it helps them learn and stops China from attacking.
I keep hoping, wishing and working towards that one day when all the people and all of their governments realize we are all one, on this one planet, this one blue dot in a galaxy of stars. And how precious life truly is.
โItโs about the kind of World you want to live inโ. You stated it perfectly!! The whole world is going thru massive change at this time, and astrologers have been speaking out about what this means for all of us over the next 3-4 years. The discomforts are felt by all. Different wars between countries, and civil unrests we are all feeling.
The current US regime has ignited flames around the globe, and as such it gives us all a greater opportunity to recognize what the โwholeโ populace wants for future living.
Iโm working towards Freedom from Oligarchy, Rights/Freedoms for all people, the peaceful ending of wars, and the end of lies being spewed as truth.
The US used to stand united with its people & other countries on being helpful rather than hurtful; as well as easily identifying who the powerful enemies are. Today we have a situation where our โenemiesโ are seen as allies, and US citizens & legal immigrants as the enemy; to be kidnapped, hauled away, penalized, or just disappeared to gulags as The Revenge Tour Creator rampages the land.
We The People of the US are powerless to make immediate changes at the moment, so we must cheer on others that can!
Even the Ruskies who are unable to speak are horrified at the death tolls.
As for the algorithmic system, it only plays a part on electronics. We have to believe to the depths of our souls that we are not forgotten as humans wherever we are! You are not forgotten! Feel it and believe it! Literal bombs are not falling upon me, but when I go out I really donโt know whoโs got my back either. What I do know is that thoughts do become realities, and itโs up to me to stand my ground as no one is coming to save any of us from the experience of life except ourselves.
I donโt know how old you are but Iโm 81 and of ill health. If we the people canโt make immediate changes, who can? If I canโt help make immediate changes, I may die in the midst of this chaos. I probably will but Iโll die trying to make life better for those who are going to be around for decades to come.
SheBee Iโm 68. Survived 5 cancers. My body is weak, yet my voice gets stronger every day. We all need to do what we can to help each other to stay strong in the midst of the mess. This is not the world Iโm willing to leave behind to my children, grands, or greatgrands. Take good care of you ๐
Ukraine is fighting every minute, every hour, every day, every week, month after month, years untold. God is working. It is always His time, never yours, never mine. The longer it takes, the greater the reward. Believe. As do I.
I wish I could believe that a โgodโ has a hand in this. I want to believe but there are so many dead and homeless and helpless right now that itโs difficultโฆ
God gave man free will, He had no hand in this war. However, He has the ability to bring good out of evil. When? Next week, next year? He does not tell us when, nor how.
My orbit contains a wide variety of Americans in both Florida and also around Midwest USA.
A solid majority of people that I know do support the bravery and steadfastness of Ukraineโs People - and particularly the awesome fighters of your Army, who exhibit amazing abilities to think โoutside the boxโ as they beat back and advance against the damn Russian invaders.
Keep on keeping on!
We, The (regular) People of America are working hard to remove the despot trump, and as soon as that task is done will restore the US government support - righteous support - for the defense of Ukraine.
You are correct, Viktor. Sadly not everyone does and I've run into several. Happily, we have this space to share our experiences and thoughts. And get suggestions, like Susan't below, on ways we can support Ukraine. Slava Ukraine!
Ukraine is under attack by Russia from the outside, and the US is under attack by Russia from the inside.
Their tsunami of propaganda owns X, formerly Twitter, and the Trump regime as well. Half of American voters who bothered to show up voted for Trump's promises of cheaper groceries; they got a Russian stooge who is doing his best to collapse our economy while further enriching himself and his backers. So yes, the situation is dire.
However, his attack on our Constitution, our allies, our friends, and our values seems to finally be backfiring. His popularity is plummeting. The courts are handing him defeat after defeat. His voters are regretting their votes, now that their farms, ranches, businesses, and savings are in jeopardy.
So, did any of these Trump voters want aid to Ukraine to stop? I doubt many did. Are they specifically pro-Russia, pro-Putin? Maybe the social media influencers who are taking Russian money are, but I doubt typical Trump voters were giving Russia a second thought. And the 75 million of us who voted for Harris were pro-Ukraine and still are.
Everything you've said about the algorithms and bubbles is absolutely true.
But this is also true: We were in the streets on April 5, and many of the 5 million of us carried your flag as well as our own. We will be out again on April 19, still outraged, still pro-democracy, still pro-Ukraine. We will continue sending your country money from our own pockets, and supporting Ukrainian businesses with our purchases, and keeping your courageous people in our hearts. And Viktor, believe me - we are real, we are many, and we will keep doing what we can to help you, and to help ourselves get out of this nightmare. Slava Ukraini. ๐๐
As a Canadian, Iโm personally doing what I can financially through donation. As for spreading the truth, that is not a hard thing to accomplish by in our country. One of the difficulties, in our country, is that our military wealth and s trength is not what is should be, so that our sharing, in that way, to Ukraine is also not what it should be. We are striving to do better but that may be too long to really help Ukraine.โค๏ธ๐บ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข
Judy can you share information about donating from Canada? One is never sure anymore which are legitimate sites and I want to be sure the money arrives in Ukraine. I have a few Doug Ford bribery cheques set aside earmarked for the cause.
It's the official one for the Ukrainian government; it /should/ work from anywhere, but I'm not sure on that part (I literally am the opposite of tech-savvy)... :-/

Hi, Susan, thank you for posting this. I did not know about United 24. Take care!

I had neglected to send them a donation this month, so thanks for the reminder!
Please remember, contributors: Don't travel to Russia; remember what happened to the ballerina who was just exchanged in a prisoner swap: she committed the "crime" of donating $51.80 to a charity in support of Ukraine. In these dystopian times, no good deed goes unpunished by monster Putin.

It made a despairing news day better. Thank YOU.

Support for Ukraine's freedom is one of the critical issues in the world today. Slava Ukraine!!
