Kiev does not see any imminent danger of a Russian incursion, and foreign media are to blame for blowing up tensions, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has said. “We are assessing the situation at a distance of 200 km from the border. They [the Russians] are constantly pulling up and then withdrawing troops, conducting exercises. I can say with absolute certainty that as of today, the Russian armed forces have not created a strike group that could carry out an invasion,” Reznikov said.

Pray for peace and justice for UkraineAn Appeal of the Ukrainian Catholic Bishops of the United States:“Pray for peace and justice for Ukraine. Be informed. Support the suffering.” “Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him” (Mt 2,13)In our Eastern Christian Christmas traditions, we rejoice and celebrate that “God is with us,” singing the praises of the Prince of Peace in hymns and carols. Yet as we reread the Nativity account, we encounter the homelessness of the Mother of God, the anguish of Joseph, and the refugee status of the newborn Jesus. Herod appears, a homicidal...

The reason: Honestly, what difference does it make? Background reference here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4032599/posts Did anyone not see this coming? People, if we are going to win this war, we have to start thinking (and acting) out of the box. The objective here is to raise funds for fuel and travel expenses; and NOT prove to ourselves that we can raise funds on GoFundMe. It’s like trying to kick the football that Lucy is...
