Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was not just an attack on a sovereign nation — it was an open assault on democracy, international law, and the right of free people to live without fear.
For over three years, Ukraine has stood firm against a brutal war of aggression. This isn’t just their fight. It’s our fight too.
❗ Why I Support Ukraine
Because Ukraine today is the front line of the free world. They’re defending their families, churches, cities, and democracy itself — with courage and resolve most of us can barely imagine.
They fight for liberty. For sovereignty. For the right to worship freely, speak freely, and live without tyranny.
🛑 Russia’s War Crimes Cannot Be Ignored
Since the 2022 invasion, Russia has committed grave violations of international law, including:
Deliberate targeting of civilians: missile strikes on homes, hospitals, schools, and evacuation routes
Mass executions and torture: uncovered in Bucha, Izium, and countless other towns
Abduction of children: over 20,000 Ukrainian children forcibly relocated to Russia in violation of international law
Sexual violence as a weapon of war
Destruction of cultural and religious sites
Use of starvation and blackouts as collective punishment
These are war crimes under the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute. The world must not look away.
💪 Why Your Support Matters
This war is not just about Ukraine. It’s about the survival of democratic values in the 21st century.
By supporting Ukraine, you help defend:
Freedom of religion and conscience
Rule of law and individual rights
The right of nations to exist without fear of conquest
Western democracy and stability
If Ukraine falls, authoritarian regimes around the world will be emboldened. Helping Ukraine is helping secure our future.
Protect freedom & peace in our fight against Russian aggression. Evil wins when good men do nothing — don’t be silent.

— Defend the Free World with Strength
When Russia invaded Ukraine, experts predicted Kyiv would fall in 3 days. They were wrong. Ukraine pushed the Russian army back, defying the odds and stopping one of the world’s largest militaries. But this war is far from over — this was only Round One.
Now, Russia is changing tactics. It is reinforcing its forces, refocusing efforts on Kharkiv, the Donbas, and trying to re-take Mariupol.
Putin’s propaganda openly declares that Europe is the next target.
If we do not help Ukraine now, the war will not stop at its borders.
To stop Russia’s imperial aggression, Ukraine urgently needs specific military support:
🔧 Ukraine's Critical Military Needs:
Artillery pieces (155 mm caliber) and as much ammunition as possible
Artillery shells (152 mm)
Multiple Rocket Launch Systems like Grad, Uragan, or HIMARS
Armored vehicles: APCs, IFVs, tanks (T-72, or NATO equivalents)
Air defense systems: S-300, Buk, or modern Western equivalents
Combat aircraft to secure airspace and repel bombing campaigns
This isn’t just about weapons.
It’s about preventing genocide.
It's about halting the expansion of tyranny
before it spills into Poland, the Baltics, and beyond.
🕊️ The fight is now. The stakes are eternal.
Ukraine is defending your values with their lives.
The cost of freedom is high — but the cost of losing it is far higher.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Russia invaded Ukraine.
This war did not begin in 2022 — it started in 2014, when Russia illegally invaded and annexed Crimea, a sovereign part of Ukraine. This was the first time since World War II that a European nation forcibly seized the territory of another sovereign state. The annexation was condemned by the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, and nearly every democratic nation in the world.
At the same time, Russian-backed militants launched a proxy war in eastern Ukraine, particularly in Donetsk and Luhansk, using local separatists and covert Russian forces. This was not a civil war, it was a carefully orchestrated campaign by the Kremlin to destabilize Ukraine and undermine its democratic path.
Then, in February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine from multiple directions — from Russia, Belarus, and the occupied territories. This unprovoked aggression is a clear violation of:
The United Nations Charter
International Humanitarian Law
The Budapest Memorandum (in which Russia had pledged to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal)
Russia is not defending itself — it is waging a war of conquest. Its goals are imperialist: to overthrow Ukraine’s government, erase its sovereignty, and forcibly bring it back under Moscow's control.
The aggressor is Russia.
The victim and defender is Ukraine.
Russia’s Long Trail of Invasions
A 21st-Century History of Aggression
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin, a KGB agent has repeatedly violated the sovereignty of neighboring countries, using military force, covert operations, cyberwarfare, and disinformation to destabilize democratic governments and expand its influence.
Here is a list of countries Russia has invaded or attacked directly or through proxies in the past 20+ years:
🇲🇩 Moldova (Transnistria) – 1992–Present
Russia sent troops to support separatist forces in Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova. Russian troops are still stationed there, against Moldova’s will.
🇬🇪 Georgia – 2008
In August 2008, Russia invaded Georgia, occupying South Ossetia and Abkhazia under the false pretext of protecting Russian citizens. These regions remain under Russian occupation to this day.
🇺🇦 Ukraine – 2014 and 2022–Present
2014: Russia illegally annexed Crimea and started a war in the eastern Donbas region using armed proxies.
2022: Full-scale invasion of Ukraine from the north, east, and south — including missile strikes, occupation, war crimes, and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
🇸🇾 Syria – 2015–Present
While invited by the Assad regime, Russia's involvement in Syria has included:
Bombing civilian areas
Supporting war crimes by the Assad regime
Preventing UN humanitarian access
Targeting hospitals and refugee camps
Russia has used Syria as a testing ground for new weapons and propaganda.
🇰🇿 Kazakhstan – 2022
During internal unrest, Russian troops were deployed to Kazakhstan as part of the CSTO military alliance, helping prop up the regime and intimidate the population. Though invited, the action showed Russia’s readiness to intervene militarily in former Soviet republics.
🇧🇾 Belarus – 2020–Present (Hybrid Control)
While not an invasion by tanks, Russia has:
Backed the Lukashenko dictatorship
Used Belarusian territory to launch its invasion of Ukraine in 2022
De facto absorbed parts of Belarus’ military and sovereignty through dependency and coercion
Russia’s Pattern Is Clear
Every one of these interventions shows a common theme: Russia does not respect borders, democracy, or international law. Its goal is to restore imperial control over the post-Soviet world and Ukraine is its central target. Stopping Russia in Ukraine is not just about protecting one country, it's about stopping a pattern of violence and expansion that threatens Europe and global peace.
