On Thursday, February 24, 2022 headlines all over the news and social media all over the world read “Russia Invades Ukraine.” Shock, terror and confusion spread throughout the entire world. But what does this mean for the future? Are we going to war? Over 21,000 deaths, approximately 10 million people displaced, over $119 billion in property damage since the beginning of this horrific event, and for what reason? According to the BBC, Vladimir Putin, the leader of Russia claims he wanted to “demilitarize and de-Nazify Ukraine." Putin said that the Ukrainian government has bullied and tormented people for over 8 years and that “Ukraine never had stable traditions of genuine statehood.” But are these reasons worth the disastrous toll the invasion has on Ukraine? You may be wondering if this means war for us? Is World War III about to occur? According to CNBC.com , “Some in the U.S. have openly wondered if American troops could be deployed to help defend Ukraine and its people. Biden has effectively put those questions to rest, saying at the end of February that the U.S. has "no intention of fighting Russia." So we can conclude, as of now, we have no intention of fighting in or joining this war. The world is in very scary times now after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but there are some ways that we can help support Ukraine. There are lots of sites where you can donate money, and other options to donate resources such as clothes and food. Some examples are UNICEF USA, UNFPA and DEC. Other ways to donate will be linked below. https://www.goodto.com/family/family-news/where-donate-to-ukraine-charities-652707
