Dear followers, I want to do everything I can to help Ukrainian people in need. I’m from Georgia where 20% of the territory is occupied by Russia. I know exactly what Ukraine is going through at the moment. Me and my friends have organised humanitarian aid for Ukrainian children in need and sent medicines, diapers, vitamins and etc. This initiative is intended to raise more funding to continue the aid. All money from “FOR UKRAINE” category sales will be directed towards helping Ukraine overcome the crisis. (Link in Bio)

My little prayer for the world is being made as I make this tiny doll corset in the colors of Ukraine’s Flag.
It is not much in the scheme of the world but it is my hopes, fears and most of all love that I imbue it as I work. It’s a small thing but it’s something I can give to the world with my heart and my mind.
My sadness, fear, and outrage seeing the brave people of Ukraine have to face their Russian aggressor has been all consuming from the first moment the attack begun a few days ago. I’ve been consumed with watching the videos and news reports. My heart is breaking seeing Ukrainian families literally being torn apart, women and children fleeing for their lives while their husbands, sons and brothers remain behind to face Russian tanks even with nothing but their own bodies. I also recognize the absolute bravery of those Russian citizens facing brutality and prison to protest Putin’s madness inside Russia itself. I worry for all my BJD friends still in Ukraine as well as friends still in Russia who are all being subjected to Putin’s whims and madness.
I grew up in the Cold War, that fear we had about the threat of nuclear annihilation was always there hanging over our heads. And now it is there again, one madman’s ego deciding it all.

Posted @withregram • @survivormitzvah ***Emergency Aid Fund for elderly Holocaust Survivors in Ukraine***
 
100% of all donations will go directly to a Ukrainian Holocaust Survivor
 
 
As towns and cities are forced to evacuate danger zones, Holocaust survivors are left in life-threatening circumstances.  Fleeing the country is not a feasible option for Holocaust survivors we serve within Ukraine as they have deteriorating health conditions and many are bedridden. And importantly, they have no where to go, and no family. These Survivors who experienced atrocities in World War II are now facing War once again. This time they are no longer young children or young adults. They are elderly and Ill. 
 
The Survivor Mitzvah Project is launching an emergency fund in response to this crisis. The outpouring of support during the devastating conflict within Ukraine gives us hope that more people will take action to help provide them with food, medicine, heating fuel,  etc.  100% of your donation to help Holocaust survivors in Ukraine will go directly into their hands. These funds will allow them to have enough money to make arrangements to evacuate to safer cities,  gather emergency supplies, and stock up on life-saving medication. 
 
Any donation, no matter how small, will save a life. Donate today during these desperate times. 

“Whoever saves one life saves the world entire.”
 
Please share this post with your followers and tag individuals, groups, influencers, celebrities, and organizations to spread the word about this urgent campaign. Every tag, every like, and every share will make a difference. Let’s all come together to Bring Humanity to these dark times. 
 
Any Questions, comments, and words of support can be submitted through our Account page or to our email at [email protected]. #ukraine #ukrainewar #ukrainerussiaconflict #ukrainerussiacrisis #russiawar #holocaust #conflict #humanitarianaid #ukrainefundraiser #fundraiser #supportukraine @yahadinunum @smallandgutsy @thegoodpeoplefund @bluecard1934 @francesfisher @katiecouric @holocaustmuseum @museumoftolerance @liberation.75 @lwittcoff (at Ukraine)

Russia invades Ukraine in an brutal act of war!

Moscow’s large-scale attack launched on Ukraine erases any lingering doubts about where Russia’s dictator wants to go. Vladimir Putin is taking back part of the Soviet empire and attacking the European post-War order.

The Dictator has made no secret of his plans: not only does he want to wipe Ukraine off the map as an independent state, he has also declared war on the entire European order of peace and stability.

The man in the Kremlin wants to return to what he considers the golden age of the Soviet Empire. With this delusional desire, however, he goes much further than every Soviet leader who arrived after Stalin: Nikita Khrushchev as well as Leonid Brezhnev and Yuri Andropov all respected the limits of the post-War European order.

Vladimir Putin does not care about treaties, either the old CSCE treaty, which declared European borders inviolable, or the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, in which Moscow guaranteed Kyiv’s independence. The first step has now been taken: the attack on Ukraine, and Putin’s goal will be to transform the state into a vassal entity.

The Russian dictator will not rest until the states of the former Soviet Union have degenerated entirely into puppets whose strings are pulled in Moscow. The third step is aimed at the members of the former Warsaw Pact.

Unfortunately, Ukraine can only be helped to a very limited extent: if the West were to intervene militarily, the danger of nuclear war would be too great. It is a tragedy: if things go badly, Ukraine will fare just as Czechoslovakia did during the Prague Spring of 1968. Back then, the Western world watched helplessly with tears in its eyes as Soviet tanks rolled through Prague. Today, as then, hearts and doors should be open to the refugees. Generously and without bureaucratic hurdles they should be accepted in the EU. Forever, if necessary.

Not mutch more can be done for Ukraine. But everything else can be prevented. If Putin wants to push NATO back to the old Yalta borders of Europe, it should now be made clear to him as quickly as possible: We will not die for Ukraine in view of a possible world conflagration, but we will die for fellow members of NATO.

Although the rule used to state that NATO troops would not be permanently stationed in the eastern NATO states, the agreement with Moscow no longer applies since the attack on Ukraine. NATO allies should be permanently stationed in all states from Poland to Latvia, from Romania to Lithuania, if their governments so wish.

If Putin does not dismantle his missiles in Königsberg, he will also have to reckon with Western missile silos in the eastern NATO area. This attack on Ukraine must cost Russia deerly, especially politically.

As if that were not enough, Russia as a whole must now be placed under sanctions. Its population – the majority of which was easily intoxicated with the fiery booze of the victory bulletins after the annexation of Crimea in 2014 – must feel that Putin’s villainy will affect them as well.

Make no mistake: Europeans will suffer, too. Sanctions and the now necessary military rearmament – including the German armed forces, the Bundeswehr! – will have a major impact. Especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. But letting Putin have his way would mean giving up our freedom sooner or later.

What is more important: peace or freedom? The West has answered this question for itself: freedom. But those who consider peace the highest good should at least keep in mind the words of Henry Kissinger: “Whenever peace – conceived as the avoidance of war – has been the primary objective of a power or a group of powers, the international system has been at the mercy of the most ruthless member of the international community.”
