UKRAINE: Power to the people

We pen this letter in support and unity with the Ukrainian people and their democratic government as they courageously fight to repel the invasion of totalitarian leader Vladimir Putin and his authoritarian government.

As history has taught us, it is crucial to check and oppose the aggression of totalitarian regimes as they violate international law and attack sovereign nation-states, resulting in the death of so many innocent people. A clear example of such evil intention was Nazi leader Adolph Hitler’s invasion of Poland in September 1939, resulting in World War II and the deaths of millions of people.

It does not matter if the crimes are committed in the name of Nazism, Communism or any other radical ideology; the free world must prevent such aggressions.

Our support, thoughts and prayers are with the free loving people of Ukraine.
