Unfortunately, Ukraine doesn’t have the luxury of choosing to be anti-war. They were attacked and invaded by a murderous dictator.

Supporting and helping the victim of this war to defend themselves is the correct approach. Morally,it’s the right thing to do.

Putin has the power to end the war today by withdrawing his damn troops.
