^ For those people still wondering why the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, the UN and the rest of the world should continue to care and support Ukraine. The answer is very clear.

A Russian Defeat in Ukraine means the end of Food Shortages, the end of Material Shortages, the lowering of Food Prices, the lowering of Gas Prices, the lowering of prices for everything.

Russia is not only attacking Ukraine, but also the whole world  and is holding all of us hostage. The more we give to Ukraine now the better we all will be in the future. ^
