Ukraine keeps fighting off a Russian invasion and defending its freedom. Right now Russian armed forces are attacking our cities by land, air, and sea. Since the start of the war on Feb 24, thousands of civilians have been killed or wounded, including many children. Over 1,000,000 people have had to leave their homes to escape these war atrocities. The number of casualties keeps growing by the minute.
