I am really feeling so sad for the people of Ukraine today. My church has a lot of ties with some of the churches in Romania and the people in both Ukraine and Romania are not so different. There are marriages between members of my church and members of the churches in Romania, so we understand what these people from the part of the world are like they are such lovely people and many how visited our church from various parts of Eastern Europe and spoken in our church meetings.
I was already quite concerned and unhappy about the news reports before what has happened to Ukraine, But did not realise How much I would actually feel for them, now that this has now happened. My wife used drive aid supplies to the Romainia churches with which my church was connected. Our church was visiting Romainian churches before the iron curtain came down. I was not on the scene in those days. I am wondering if the people of Ukraine are going to be punished by the Russians taking over, because they voted to become a democratic country and lose there improved life style as a result as well.
Many of these younger people in Ukraine have grown up knowing only what it is like to live in a free country. They do not know how to live as young adults in a Communist country. It is just terrible for them. Young adults with families, were parents may be members of the ukraine armed forces, may have been killed in the invasion leaving their children to grow up without them. This is just so unfair!
