Maidan Community Sector, Lviv: Dear friends!
War, not the expected peace arrived at the doorstep of Great Britain and France when they gave up Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. War is happening right here at home and not in faraway Europe – the United States were harshly reminded about this at Pearl Harbor in 1942. War descended on Ukraine and thus is now much closer to Paris and Berlin, because Europe and the US haven’t supported Georgia in 2008. War showed up in the homes of Dutch, British, French, German, Australian families because Europe and the US weren’t courageous enough to lend a helping hand to Ukraine in 2014. It is impossible to run away from war and overwhelming aggression, it is impossible to buy yourself off. The war will catch up with you if you don’t stand up to it with utmost determination.
September 21 – Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO Allied Command Operations Philip Breedlove said that the Russian troops remain in Ukraine. The number of Russian military is impossible to determine because of their constant movement across the border.
September 21 – Peace rallies were held in support of Ukraine and against Russia’s aggression in Moscow, St.Petersburg, other Russian cities and in a number of world countries.
