Six Ways to Help Ukraine Survive Right Now
Ukraine has shown remarkable resolve, resilience, and military capacity as it defends itself against Russia’s unprovoked and massive attacks.
A modern day lend lease is off the table. It was squashed by the US Government.

Russian soldiers are deliberately killing Ukrainian civilians trying to flee. A mother & 2 children were killed and father wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety.
Putin has completely lied to his soldiers. This guy said he would go to jail to atone for his crimes.
He got a standing ovation. This is very Churchillian:
Zelenskyy tells UK Parliament 'we will fight to the end'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in a speech to the United Kingdom Parliament Tuesday, said "we will not give up and we will not lose."We will fight till the end, at sea, in the air. We will continue fighting for our land, whatever the cost," he continued. "We will fight in the forests, in the fields, on the shores, in the streets."
“I would like to add that we will fight on the banks of different rivers... we are looking for your help, for the help of the civilized countries," Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy also called on the U.K. to recognize Russia as a “terrorist state” and to ramp up sanctions on Moscow.
The speech was met with a standing ovation from U.K. lawmakers.
The Russians have arrested the Mayor of Melitopol, for displaying Ukraine's flag.
They put a plastic bag over his head and dragged him out.
Reports are that he is being tortured.

The Ukrainians stopped the encirclement of Odessa at a town called Voznesensk.
"As darkness fell March 2, Mr. Rudenko, who owns a company transporting gravel and sand, took cover in a grove on the wheat field’s edge under pouring rain. The Russian tanks there would fire into Voznesensk and immediately drive a few hundred yards away to escape return fire, he said.
Mr. Rudenko was on the phone with a Ukrainian artillery unit. Sending coordinates via the Viber social-messaging app, he directed artillery fire at the Russians. So did other local Territorial Defense volunteers around the city. “Everyone helped,” he said. “Everyone shared the information.”
Ukrainian shelling blew craters in the field, and some Russian vehicles sustained direct hits. Other Ukrainian regular troops and Territorial Defense forces moved toward Russian positions on foot, hitting vehicles with U.S.-supplied Javelin missiles. As Russian armor caught fire—including three of the five tanks in the wheat field—soldiers abandoned functioning vehicles and escaped on foot or sped off in the BTRs that still had fuel. They left crates of ammunition."

If we did that and the Russians cut the tongues out of Biden and Harris, it would certainly help this country. It would hurt Russia. Although I am not sure it would affect Biden's ability to communicate. There is no one home in the upstairs of the Biden household.
The heroes of Ukraine include those who fight, even when President Biden stabs them in the back.

This patriot was fighting in Donbas on August 15. She has a very determined look on her face. I pray she is never captured by the Russians.
For those looking for good news on the Ukrainian front...this is what I would say is cautiously optimistic. Our guys see evidence that the good guys are making headway and the Russkies are falling back. At least we are respecting tactical and operational security.
The heroes in Ukraine include the innocents who have died because of Russia.

Olena Gnes announced that her husband has been demobilized from Ukraine's army. She is very emotional that he is back. This is a glimpse in Ukraine's treatment of its citizen solders and the affect it has on on its people. One would expect that troop rotations may require his redeployment. How many times over the last 250 years have American wives sent their husbands off to war? How often did they get them back?

The point of this thread is to remind each of us of the sacrifices made by all Ukrainians, especially the young. These include the 20 year old girl, 2 years out of high school who died. The beautiful 25 year old who had her leg blown off. The wife whose husband returned from the war. The 30 something woman who alone held up a 40 mile column of Russian tanks.
I do not think that this country has the will to stand up and fight against the tyrants from China and Russia. Would our people fight if our enemies were marching down Monument Avenue in Richmond or Pennsylvania Avenue in DC?

Marjorie Taylor Greene no more speaks for the Repubs than AOC does for the Dems. Both are extremists, which is unfortunate, because the hard work of governing comes from the center.These are the people your Republican heroes Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kevin McCarthy want to abandon.
