Canada and the rest of the remaining democracies need to do way more - weapons, aid, finance, etc - to help our ally Ukraine fight fascist Russia (our common enemy, which is at war with us too.) Also, there are lots of small things to help 🇺🇦 that everyone can consider doing. Ideas👇
Things You Can Do To Support Ukraine🇺🇦
Idea 1: Read, share and subscribe to Ukraine-based media, like the @kyivindependent.com Co-founded by a group of journalists in late 2021, it’s a great source of reporting + investigations about 🇺🇦, its fight for survival, and related European + global issues.

Trump’s Ukraine ‘Ultimatum/Peace Deal' Is a $2 Trillion Cash Grab for Trump, Putin and Their Pals
So it turns out Donald Trump’s big plan to “end” the Russia‑Ukraine war isn’t really about peace. It’s about getting rich off the rubble and the bones of Ukraine's war dead.

A lawsuit previously alleged that David Gentile—just pardoned by Trump— was an associate of Russian organized crime figure and oligarch Michael Cherney.
A business news outlet found that Cherney’s daughters benefited from some of Gentile’s earliest dealings.
