It is comforting to have experienced diplomats associated with the Biden administration and NATO. Blinken has taken very important steps to ensure the Ukrainians that we, as well as the G7 in NATO, will not leave them behind. We want them to win and be successful as a country. I want them to prevail for selfish reasons. My father was born in Boryslaw Poland. The pronunciation of the city is “Borslav”. The city is now a part of Ukraine and is very rich in oil, as many small cities were. Many of my father’s relatives and friends were annihilated by the Nazis there. It would give me the greatest of joy to see Ukraine forever gain freedom from the likes of Putin and autocracy.
Marlene , thank you for sharing your family connections to Ukraine. My heart is with you and your family. The loss and pain. And I share your stories. And the history. We all must share and listen, understand that numbers are not the true story. It is the tragedy of war and loss and millions and millions of personal and real life stories. And human beings. We’re not so far away.

I know you share a lot with me, Irenie. Someday, our paths will cross.
Marlene, yes we do share a lot. Which I love. Maybe our paths have already crossed. Irenie (CA)
Similar background here (although a couple of generations earlier). For me, Ukraine is family.
I feel like that too, Talia.
I stand with you.
