Ukraine as I see it

Right now the Ukraine is embattled. It is in a fight for it’s life like never seen before since World War Two. There is a refugee crisis that is worse since Hitler invaded Poland in the late 1930’s.

This crisis is not a democrat or a republican problem. It is a universal humanitarian problem, one that must be addressed by all nations. Russia has invaded it’s peaceful neighbor for no other reason than to protect Russian speaking Ukrainians, a similar excuse Hitler used for invading Poland to regain lost territory.

Putin has said the refugees can go to Bellarus or Russia. Is this really an option for them? They were citizens of a free Ukraine. Why would they go where they aren’t free any more?

Putin is making demands that Ukraine recognize that two of it’s cities now belong to Russia and that Crimea is also a Russian territory.

I also see this as another crisis on the Russian front and that is as the sanctions become more and more crippling against Russia, it is going to impact the citizens, then who will Putin have to blame? There are a lot of Russians against this war but some protestors have been rounded up and shot.

I have a slight solution to this problem, get permission from the president of the Ukraine to have humanitarian flights out of several cities of his country. Tell Putin these are the cities the flights are coming out of and any sight of Russian troops attacking fleeing civilians will be met with force.
