Ukraine's Freedom Flickers: A Call to Defend the Indefensible

In a world where human rights are supposed to be the cornerstone of international relations, Ukraine is being ravaged by Russia's brutal aggression. The war crimes perpetrated by Russian troops have left innocent civilians reeling, with homes, schools, churches, and hospitals being shelled, and people being abducted, tortured, and killed. The world watched in horror as a family of five was reduced to just one grieving father, and a children's hospital was struck, leaving dozens of kids in dire need of medical attention. Russia's goal is to erase Ukraine's culture, nationality, and history. The abduction of nearly 20,000 children is a stark reminder of the sinister intentions. These children are being forced to adopt new names, erase their Ukrainian identity, and attend schools that ban the Ukrainian language and history. The Russian version of victory would see Ukraine cease to exist as a nation, putting democracy at risk worldwide.
