Helping a crisis from afar

Watching the invasion news…

Sofiya: Outrageous. Villainous. Monstrous. 

Mykhailo: It was unspeakable. Unthinkable. Unbelievable.

Sofiya: Well, there had been signs like the troop buildup on the border. And the rhetoric. There was a hope that it would amount to just more intimidation and psychological warfare.

Mykhailo: Only it turned out not be. Declarations of “I won’t attack” and then the next day invading. 

Sofiya: Well, what to do about the atrocity? How to assist people who fled with nothing from ruined homes? How to help defend the country? How to get the message out?

Mykhailo: Short of going in there, contribute. There are agencies and I’ve even heard of people personally sending money for hotel rooms to accommodate refugees.
