Thoughts on Ukraine - 2.28.22

Our hearts ache for the people of Ukraine as they face the onslaught of this unprovoked attack. Our thoughts are with those in our community who have friends and family in that region and hope that they are safe. Our world is fragile, barely beginning to recover from a devastating pandemic. The toll that this war can inflict on the people of Ukraine and even the people of the Russian Federation are unimaginable. Thus, in the words of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, we hope that “in the name of humanity” the hostilities will soon cease and that diplomacy may once again be given a chance to broker a peace.
