” I am here to support the people of Ukraine. We want peace. We want Russia out of Ukraine. It is a sovereign democratic country. We do not want war. We are so proud of the Ukrainian people and the way they are standing up to much more powerful aggression. This aggression that Russia has been going on for many years. Since 2014 they illegally invaded Crimea and began a war in Donbas eastern Ukraine. The world was not paying attention, now finally the world has woken up to the attack of this Russian criminal Putin he needs to be stopped.”
