Meanwhile
Ukrainians, and the world, watched in disbelief as nothing concrete was accomplished at today’s meeting between President Trump and Putin – while Ukrainian people still bleed. The war rages on, and relief feels further away for those living under daily bombardment.
Even more horrifying, the world witnessed a war criminal with the blood of innocent Ukrainians on his hands be welcomed on a red carpet. Shockingly, Russia’s unjust and ruthless invasion since 2014 was referred to as merely a “conflict” and the two Presidents shook hands as if occupation and atrocities can be ignored.
Normalizing relations while Russia occupies Ukrainian land sends a dangerous message: that war crimes and human rights abuses can be overlooked for political or economic gain.
Ukrainians know from past peace negotiations that Russia cannot be trusted. The humanitarian cost of inaction is staggering. Attacks continue relentlessly, and more lives will be lost tonight and in the days ahead.
United Help Ukraine is on the ground right now, delivering medical aid, defender’s support, and critical resources to frontline communities. Stand with Ukraine now — because the world cannot afford to stand still.
