I Stand With Ukraine

Like many of you, I am in disbelief of what is going on right now in Ukraine, and hoping for a quick, peaceful withdrawal, though that seems unlikely. I have been to Ukraine. In 2019 I spent the day in Kyiv on a stop-over. What a beautiful city full of proud people. I have also been to Moscow, Russia, twice for extended periods for business. I love that city, especially in January! The decorations are amazing! I have met many wonderful Ukrainians and Russians both here in Canada and abroad. People are people – governments are governments, and dictators are dictators. I hope for peace, and donated to help. You can too.

Here is a copied blog from NCCA Canada today. It sums up the message for me. Peace.

We are shocked and saddened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and inspired by the incredible leadership and resilience of the Ukrainian people. We are also seeing and hearing of many Russians who are against this war, and protest at the risk of their freedom.  The Russian people should not be wholly judged based on their current President and government.  Allies are everywhere.  We #StandWithUkraine – and we can donate to the Canadian Red Cross to help, with this link:
