AIR RAID ALERT

Practically every day (lately several times a day) I get notifications on my phone of the air raid alerts in my hometown of Dnipro. Russians try really hard to bomb my city among other cities in Ukraine (Today they bombed our Odesa, and at least, 8 people died). Ukrainian military works tirelessly to fend off the attacks and most of the time they are successful. Other times the bombs hit our cities… I’m typing this and a realization squeezes into my consciousness of how surreal and unbelievably outrageous the reality is… russians have been bombing my country, my city, my people, my animals, my trees, my buildings… for 2 months. For 2 months Ukrainians are suffering, dying, being forced to leave their homes, get orphaned, mutilated, raped… for 2 months no one was able to stop russia and bring it to justice. And with a system like russia it all comes down not to diplomatic solutions, but to weapons. Ukraine needs the western allies to give it weapons to stop the suffering and keep our cities, families, pets, nature safe. We need you to help #armukrainenow to end this war and prevent the russian terror spreading further into Europe and the rest of the world. Talk to your representatives, talk about the war on social media, consume reliable media. Help us stop russia, help us stop the genocide of Ukrainians!
