I fight for them. I fight for Ukraine.”

I am left wondering how many anniversaries of this war we have yet to remember. I cannot see it ending anytime soon.
Best wishes, Pete.

I am so disgusted with this war. The Ukrainians are a brave and wonderful people. I so hope they win this once and for all before there is a second anniversary.

I don’t have any new words for this. And when I see certain figures on the extreme right accuse the current administration of starting WW III I want to go ballistic. I’m so tired of stupid, cruel, selfish, egocentric, ignorant, tired to the core.

Love the painting! I hate the fact that we are celebrating something that should never have happened. My hat is off to those who struggle still and survive.

I love this! Perfect words and a remarkable painting. Rarely do I comment on anything political, but today (one year later) makes me think of Britain begging for America to help in WWII. It took us way too long to step in and help. Thank goodness we didn’t drag our feet to help Ukraine.
