On February 24, 2022, Russian forces unleashed a wave of attacks on neighboring Ukraine. Given that Russia had been gathering troops on Ukraine's border since October 2021, the full-scale invasion from the north, east, and south was not totally unexpected. However, American and European Union (EU) officials had hoped that the threat of economic sanctions would deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from taking this drastic action. To better understand how we got here, it is essential to know a little about the long, complicated relationship between the two countries.

        As a reminder, we should acknowledge the sacrifices made by those who fought for Ukraine's independence and continue to support the nation in preserving its sovereignty. The struggle for Ukraine's freedom is ongoing, and we must not forget its importance.

              I get what you’re going through. My family is in Ukraine. My grandparents are scared to leave because my uncle is serving. And when they talk about hearing bombs all the time they say it so casually like it’s normal. My little 3 yr old cousin is in the war to. I’ve never met and i hope i get the chance to. Pray for Ukraine.🫶🇺🇦
