Two years of illegal war against Ukraine

  It is now two years that Russia tried to invade Ukraine and started an illegal war against its people. Russia has attacked hospitals, homes, destroyed the city of Mariopol, murdered the people of Bucha, attacked food storage in Odesa, destroyed the Kakhovka Dam to use it as a weapon of war...

So why write a blog against war in Ukraine, a foreign land with which I have no connection? Russia invaded Ukraine On the night of 23 to 24 February 2022, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine, and everything changed. Ukrainian people are being attacked in their homes, cities and communities. Theirs lives, their livelihoods, their physical integrity, their access to food, water and energy are threatened. Murdered, imprisoned, raped, trafficked.  For key information on the war in Ukraine, visit the webpage:  United Nations Regional Information Centre for Westerns Europe .  Imagine if this happened to you, to your family, to your neighbors, to your friends. This is unacceptable, it cannot be allowed! We must act against such monstrosity, in any way we can. All of us.
