Ukraine’s people and their future as a free nation are under attack, fueled by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s lust for power and treasure. Ukrainians young and old — even those in wheelchairs can still make Molotov cocktails — are fighting and dying for their dreams of democracy.
Democracies around the world, including America’s, are under attack for similar reasons, and to some extent that makes Ukraine’s battle our own. Please do what you can to help Ukraine in her hour of need.
