Thank you for the help to our brothers from Ukraine. 💖🇨🇱
ukrainian don’t thank them first because for television view they show you as hero or patriotic… let’s see if they treat you well for long period….
Mr Putin, you have two daughters and a grand-daughter. Imagine how your heart would break if they were killed in a city being shelled and bombed by an enemy force. How grief would overwhelm you. Think and act as a parent and godfather and save the innocent Ukrainians from having their loved ones destroyed. Let the young have 40, 50, 60 more years of life, not four, five or six minutes.
