Supporting Ukraine and All People Under Attack

It's easy to get preoccupied in these busy times with our own lives and priorities. Nonetheless we will and must support Ukraine.

By Doug Bruhnke · Global Chamber

We were heard an update from Igor Novikov, former adviser to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing the need for continued support of the Ukrainian people, under attack by Vladimir Putin and Russia.

We are in full support of all people to live in peace. This is particularly clear in the case of Ukraine, which is an independent country, with a fairly elected President, and Russia has no right to kill Ukrainians and seize land.

Watch and listen HERE.

It's easy to get preoccupied in these busy times with our own lives and priorities.

One of our priorities should be the protection of our neighbors for evil. And so we stand by Igor, President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people, and their right to live in peace, to live in a democracy, and not to be bullied by a thug nation.

Thank you Igor for your leadership, and we stand with you and Ukraine 100%.

Ukraine will prevail, but not without the cost of lives and property. We stand with Ukraine now and in the rebuilding when Russia is beaten back and removed.
