We were appalled, embarrassed, and outraged by the bullying behavior of Trump and Vance in their meeting with Zelensky. It was unbecoming of our country’s leaders and demonstrates their unfitness to lead this country. We do not believe, as Trump and Vance do, that Russia is our ally. Russia is an outlaw state run by a dictator and his cronies. Is America really aligned now with Russia, North Korea, and Belarus against our allies in the United Nations?
Ukraine is our ally and is fighting for its freedom against Russia’s unprovoked attack. Ukrainians are fighting and dying for our freedoms and for our European allies. Like many of you, we have wondered how we can help since we don’t have Musk’s resources, but we decided that we cannot stand by and watch the systematic destruction of America’s credibility and reliability.
We have decided to help Ukraine directly to counter the Trump administration’s reversal of America’s longstanding support of democracy and its tilt away from our allies toward Russia. On Saturday, March 1, we sent $1000 directly to the Ukrainian government through United24 to be used for defense. It’s also possible to donate for humanitarian, medical, and rebuilding efforts. The website provides detailed reports on how the $1.4 billion in contributions has been spent so far. Check out Wikipedia for more information about United24.
We hope you will consider joining us in supporting Ukraine as Trump and Vance abandon our traditional and steadfast allies.

Chip and Toni Greening
