I think we need to ask ourselves, as the international community, how do we help the Ukraine, how do we support Ukraine, how do we save Ukraine without expanding the war in ways that nobody wants to see?
How could our system fail like this? How is it that foreign, corrupt interests can manipulate our government? Which country`s interests are served when the very corrupt behavior we are criticizing is allowed to prevail? Such conduct…

American leadership and, frankly, American values, democratic values, indeed democratic values, when we choose to support Ukraine in this really important war of, frankly, liberty versus tyranny.
