Letter: Let’s back our promises to Ukraine — with meaningful action

(Lynsey Addario | The New York Times) Olessya, 36, receives weapons training along with other Ukrainian volunteers in Kyiv, March 4, 2022.

This is an open letter to everyone concerning the war in Ukraine:

What is President Biden, and our Congress waiting for? What is the free world waiting for? Where is our moral outrage? Ukrainians are being slaughtered, cities are being destroyed. The whole world is united with Ukraine, so let us put our words into action and give Ukraine the planes, tanks, missiles and all the other things they need to defeat this madman Putin.

President Biden should immediately send planes and pilots to support the Ukrainian military. Putin understands strength and talk is meaningless to him. This is history repeating itself.

Hitler invaded Poland Sept. 1, 1939, and the Soviets in turn invaded Poland on Sept. 17, 1939, with the two countries dividing and annexing the whole country under the terms of the German-Soviet Frontier Treaty.

Let us back our promises to Ukraine – with meaningful action and we need to do it now – today!!
