there is more outrage in your channel over Trump forcing

this pointless war which has wiped out an entire generation of
Ukrainians and pushes us ever closer to nuclear war be hopeful.
This false hope can only be entertained If you ignore the
historical context of this war and let your mass media generated
emotions override reason. <br>

Dear friends, I am writing from the heart of the
storm, just metres away from where President Zelensky
is meeting with Europe’s top leaders right now. Last
week -- still reeling from what had unfolded in the
Oval Office and terrified by the thought that Ukraine
and all of Europe might be left to stand alone --
someone in the Avaaz team looked up and simply said:
“We have to show up." So we printed a massive 500m²
banner, grabbed train tickets to Brussels and sent an
urgent call to our community: Let’s stand with
Ukraine. 48 hours later, that giant flag started to
unfold in front of the world held by hundreds of
hands. Ukrainians started to sing, and without even
realising it, we began to smile. Because something was
shifting. A pulse of connection and hope. And for a
moment, the heartbreak, the rage, the weight of it
all, eased. For a minute, we had defeated fear. </div>

Dear friends,<br>
<br>
I am writing from the
heart of the storm,
just metres away from
where President
Zelensky is meeting
with Europe’s top

<br>
Last week -- still
reeling from what had
unfolded in the Oval

by the thought that
Ukraine and all of

in the Avaaz team
looked up and simply
said: “We have to

So we printed a

grabbed train tickets

an urgent call to our

with Ukraine.<br>
<br>
<strong>48 hours
later, that giant
flag started to
unfold in front of
the world held by
hundreds of hands</strong>.
Ukrainians started to
sing, and without even
realising it, we began
to smile. Because
something was
shifting. A pulse of
connection and hope.
And <strong>for a
moment, the
heartbreak, the
rage, the weight of
it all, eased.</strong>
<strong>F</strong><strong>or
a minute, we had
defeated fear.</strong><br>
