It’s way past time to end the killing and destruction.
Money needs to be spent on reconstruction, not destruction.

Spoke with my people in Ukraine. This was a very big attack across a number of cities. The Russians used missiles, drones and anything else they could throw. The Russians don’t attack military targets, just civilian buildings and infrastructure like power plants and water service.
There really needs to be a way to get this thing called off.
