Anyone from or know someone who was from Ukraine?

I had a woman on staff who was born in San Francisco, but her parents had escaped Ukaine in the 1970s.She used to talk about her parents being radically anti Russian.

I know a few Ukrainians. One on Zuckface has been railing against Putin and Russian aggression for many years.

I know a woman and her younger brother who arrived in the states back in the 80s. And I wish they could participate here to provide us their perspective. I can’t speak for her, but she fully agrees with my view that while Ukraine is of critical strategic importance to Russia, the United States and NATO can make no such claim. She resents Russia’s rape of her country, but says she expected it for years.

My wife is on a crafty site that uses Zoom, two members are in Western Ukraine.

Not yet, but with two million Ukrainian refugees in Western Europe I probably will soon.

Several coworkers and parents of my students. Russian immigrants also and one family who are both. I know one student has two aunts trying to get out.
