Seems a great guy, all Ukrainians that I’ve seen over the last week seem like such amazing people. Hoping for a Ukrainian victory and peace being restored ❤️ 🇺🇦 ✊

[janetbeebe]

Look at this man risking his life to help his neighbors. I have lived here and have had many surgeries, and not one neighbor helped. I could barely walk. Look at the love he has for his people.

[entertexthere]

I just donated for the Ukraine people. I dont make much, Im poor but I want them to live free and live in peace.

[ethelwulfmountbattenderoth]

The biggest red flag on this was Trump calling this a genius move. Trump is dead wrong on nearly everything.

[imyourhuckleberry]

I've never been to Ukraine but my heart and admiration for them is unwavering🇺🇦

[Lyaia]

So proud of the Ukrainians for their courage and strength. May God bless you and keep you safe and well until peace finds you in your homeland once again❤ 🙏🕊

[brynlowe]

Keep fighting you brave people. Bless Ukraine.

Russians (and many in the West too) do not understand that Ukraine is not Russia. However similar they may look and sound to the outsiders- Ukrainians are quite something different once you get to know them. Stay strong Ukraine!!!

[sheilamartin]

Everyone is sending weapons, military gear and first aid, are they going to be sending MRE's too? Food and water are essential supplies. Stay strong Ukraine, the world is with you. 💙💛🇺🇦

My heart goes out to everyone fighting over there right now, as well as all the people who have lost their families or their homes or even just basic necessities like clean water and food. This whole situation has broken my heart beyond words. Sending Ukraine love and prayers from Australia❤️🇺🇦

[cindythomas]

So glad you are in touch with him... many prayers to him 🙏🇺🇦

[freedomfinder]

It’s so good to have Rachel back at her desk!

[noelgenoway]

"NATO should join the Ukraine and not Ukraine join NATO!!"🥰 So true! The Ukrainians have got spirit and determination of 1000 Russia's!!

[arliemassey]

We need to support Ukraine with humanitarian aid- whatever these brave people need- no matter what the wackos @ Cpac think

[truegrit]

I am a black American woman - my people have been in America for centuries, yet many don't want to acknowledge that. I look at this horrid situation in the Ukraine and I am reminded of Edmund Burke's quote - "The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.." We, the world, are doing close to nothing. My heart goes out to my Ukrainian brothers and sisters.

[someonesweet]

May God bless Ukraine and keep them safe

[skywatcher]

The images are reminiscent of WW2. I am sad for the people. But I have great respect for Ukraine. Great love to you, Ukraine

[didiask]

Applaud the ukrainan people 👏keep it up yous are the real patriots! 👊👊

[bettyveronica]

The Right-wing in our country should watch the Ukrainian people, and good citizens of Russia protesting Putin...they might learn what REAL PATRIOTS are like.
💙💛🇺🇦🌻🇺🇸💜

Covid, Putin, and Trump. The world will never be the same. However, it is time for the world to find the courage to do the right think. That would mean no more America in the middle east, and no more Russia threatening its neighbors, and no more China looking down at Taiwan. Most people are reasonable and most reasonable people want peace.
