The Russian Federation had launched an unwarranted and illegal enterprise of destruction and human rights violations targeting the sovereign nation of Ukraine. 

The Ukrainian people have proven themselves worthy of the world's support through sheer grit and valiant determination in the face of one of the largest and most brutal war machines on earth. Vladimir Putin's irrational and destabilizing actions will lead to the destruction of a proud people- and sanctions are not enough.

Now is the time to stop Russia's aggression by banding together and facing them directly. Ukraine has the willing and able ground forces to continue this fight, but they need our help in the skies. If the world continues to live in fear of Russia's nuclear arsenal, it is only a matter of time before Putin will expand his aims further to NATO nations. 

This is our moment- show the world that we will not sacrifice the people of Ukraine out of fear and selfish inaction. Tell our leaders that we are willing to engage in this necessary military action to prevent the terrorization and subjugation of Europe.
