The Russian Federation has brutally attacked Ukraine, a peaceful and democratic European nation. A country with a long national history dating back to medieval Kyivan Rus. Our country has fought for its independence for centuries, particularly from the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. Thirty years ago, Ukraine finally declared its independence. Or so it would seem. But these days, she must once again prove her right to a free existence, the right to independence, and the right to determine how to live. Unfortunately, today Russia led by the tyrannical dictator, Vladimir Putin, has trampled on these rights.
