We’re awash in our own tragedies here in America, but please do not forget about #Ukraine’s epic struggle for survival as a Democracy. We could be next.
As we honor Americans who sacrificed their lives for our democracy, let us also honor the brave soldiers and civilians who have laid their lives on the line to preserve #Ukraine’s democracy.

Imagine the audacity of asking #VolodymyrZelenskyy to select areas of #Ukraine to cede to #Russia in hopes of achieving a peace deal with #Putin.
Imagine the audacity of telling #VolodymyrZelenskyy that he will need to surrender portions of #Ukraine to #Russia to arrive at a peace agreement.
If #Russia’s losses in #Ukraine include 23,800 troops and each one had just three people who would mourn their passing in a needless war, that’s 69,000 parents, spouses, friends, and children whose white-hot fury upon learning the truth may spell the end of #VladimirPutin’s Reign of Terror. #IStandWithUkraine
Imagine the audacity of asking #VolodymyrZelenskyy to consider which parts of #Ukraine he’d be willing to surrender in order to reach a peace deal with #Russia. He doesn’t negotiate with terrorists. Nobody should. [Artwork by #Ukrainian artist, digital download purchased through Etsy]
