Marie Yovanovitch was honoring Kateryna Handzyuk, Ukrainian anti-corruption (squeamish alert)

activist, when she got the word to leave Ukraine.

In her hospital bed after acid attack. She later died.

broke my heart.

It also made me angry and worried about how far things have gotten down this road.

Not that it was not already apparent but this video just broke me.

RIP courageous woman

and how much energy she put into defeating corruption in her country. If Ukraine ever does become a more democratic, free country governed by rules and not oligarchs, I hope she is honored as the hero she was.

That tRump hasn't used this tragedy as an excuse as to why they had to get Yovanovitch out of there in a hurry. Worried for her safety, you know.
