OPINION:
The Ukraine war is in its third year, and Russia continues its attacks (“Ukraine on ‘irreversible’ path to NATO membership, chief Stoltenberg says,” web, July 10). Hopefully the aid by the U.S. and European countries will help Ukraine fight off the Russian invasion and prevent Russia from overrunning Europe. The U.S. finally allowed Ukraine to hit targets on Russian territory using U.S. arms.
Russia has unleashed devastating attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, including power plants, water distribution systems, warehouses, businesses and housing. Approximately 12,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and over 20,000 have been injured. Thousands of Ukrainian children have been kidnapped and sent to Russia.
Why aren’t people protesting against the killing and wounding of Ukrainian civilians? Aren’t the Christians of Ukraine just as important as the Muslims of Gaza — or is there a bias involved? And isn’t it important for the U.S. to support Ukraine and prevent a much wider war in Europe? Do the protesters care about the U.S., or do they just want to create chaos and promote anarchy? If they want to make a truly meaningful impact, maybe they should go to Ukraine and Gaza.
We must continue to support Ukraine with military aid and donations by citizens. I have contributed to several Ukrainian relief organizations.
