Display the Ukrainian flag, message their embassy with support. Message legislators who support Ukraine. Some of us have been doing this for three years, since the invasion. Support and buy from artists working in Ukraine. They can be found.
I agree that there are no words to come close to the sheer disrespect that was shown to the Ukraines. I couldn't sleep last night altering between despair and sheer fury. You mentioned supporting artists from the Ukraine...don't know if you remember the ornaments I cross stitched a couple years ago (Nutcrackers and retail shops) - I got the patterns from a wonderful Ukrainian designer. Now I must go and look again to see if she has anything new available.
I was impressed at his ability to keep his head. He was being goaded to behave badly, but he never rose to the bait. He never said one word that could be twisted. He gave some amazing interviews after the fact. His coolheaded response was a contrast to the angry words and flailing about done by Vance and Trump. He made it very clear (in an interview with Fox News, no less) that he while he regretted that the talks did not go more smoothly, there would be no apology from him. He felt it was good that the US knows Ukraine unequivocable stance on this.
Yes - thank you, President Zelenskyy. An inspiring and courageous leader. I was appalled by his reception here.

Yes. I was a child in Britain during WWII. Never want that again for anyone.
DeleteAgreed.
ReplyDeleteLike.
ReplyDeleteAnd empathy for all that has been done... and yesterday!
ReplyDeleteYes, such courage, met with such disrespect.
DeleteIndeed. That was tough.
ReplyDeleteThere are no words!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely disgraceful behaviour on the part of Trump and Vance. This is their "diplomacy" and "foreign policy" in action.
ReplyDeleteMore like their performance for the benefit of Putin.
DeleteDespicable regime...Have you any ideas for those individuals in this regime standing up for Ukraine?

I have done some of this. Looking for artists is a great idea too.
DeleteYes, I'm not surprised. You're a quiet activist.
DeleteIt was just horrible. I saw it live and couldn't believe my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI saw part of it. Enough.

That's a great idea. Please blog about her if she does have patterns for sale.
DeleteI will on Monday!
DeleteI was ashamed and embarrassed. Mortified. Then I saw an ad this morning with Kristi Noem. OMG
ReplyDeleteIt was a dark day.
DeleteFrom the very beginning, he has been the very definition of a hero.
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Never wavered.
DeleteThank you, President Zelenskyy. Long live Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteYes to that.
DeleteI couldn't bring myself to watch it. I only read about it, and that was enough.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Just knowing it happened is bad enough.

ReplyDeleteA real leader and genuine human
