The one sphere of affect that counts is the one chosen by the Ukrainian individuals.

They've chosen the sphere of democracy over Vladimir Putin’s sphere of autocracy.

It's Russia that's “taking part in cowboy” with the United Nations Constitution ideas and the Common Declaration of Human Rights.

I strongly assist U.S. Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin’s good transfer. The Russian’s aggression won't ever be solved with diplomatic sanctions or peaceable negotiations, however it would by army intervention.

We witnessed how the Russians denied their escalation towards Crimea and ignored the Western allies and NATO’s warnings, then invaded and occupied the Crimea Peninsula in 2014.

We noticed how the Russians disrespected the worldwide rule of legislation and cruelly bombed town of Idlib in Syria killing and injuring hundreds Kurdish residents together with many kids and infants in 2017.

I'm a former chair of Slavic Languages on the College of Alberta and at all times championed the Ukrainian language and Ukrainian involvement in college life.
