I hope this gets resolved as soon as possible and that no more Ukrainians or Russians hurt each other. Both have great people, this really makes me sad. ✌

If world leaders were half as decent and brave as Zelensky the world would be a much better place

Zelensky is one brave man. Him just standing in an army green tee shirt against a plain backdrop, speaking calmly and assuredly is impressive. He's #1 on the Kremlin hit list. His family are #2. I wish there was a way to form a shield around the Zelensky's

Imagine if the Afghan Armed Forces had this determination. I understand the situations aren’t exact, but the AAF didn’t even put up a single fight.

[Mabeylater]

The beautiful Iranian people are unfortunately being held hostage g their government too. It’s beautiful to see them come together and share their voice with the world❤️

I’m a Russian married to a Ukrainian, with mixed children. I don’t think people realize how mixed we all are!! As Slavics, we can have a Russian mom, a Moldavian dad, a Ukrainian aunt etc.. so sad. This is brothers and sisters fighting.

Let Putin keep his oil. I'd rather use less and pay more for gas to put a hurting on Putin's pocket!

[freddyg.]

People around the world are hearing the call for individuals to head to Ukraine to help turn back the Russians.
This will have an incredible impact and also be a great morale booster to our friends in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Way to go Ukrainians you are an inspiration to the world!!

[clouddragonz]

No one wins in any war. It is always the innocent people that suffer the most.

[frgwyn]

The media is so manipulative, have they acted like this to iraq and Afghanistan??

[litbien]

It's hard to think of being in their shoes for 1 second, it is extremely hard and awful.🙏 May God strengthen them, give them his protection, their peace of mind again.
