Welcome

I hope I don´t cry if I see them.
Neither would I know what to say.
It must be so hard to leave everyone and everything behind, not knowing what you find when you come back.

We hope the war ends soon.

There's not much we in the states can do until Putin crosses the line. There are talks now that he has committed war crimes and they (NATO) are talking about bringing charges against him for that.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, 10 on the list already. And in the news they say he sure has miscalculated big.
Must be embarrassing. I hope he drops dead.

Nancy Chan said...

I do hope the war will end because the effect of war is not good for everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.

Tom said...

...these brave people need a warm welcome.

Iris Flavia said...

Nancy, yes, it is scary and sad.

Wars are tragic.

I hope it ends too.

I'm glad there are countries taking them in right now. Until they can go home, which will hopefully be sooner than later. I am so sad that there might be a lot left of the country when that happens. Hugs-Erika

It's hard to imagine what they're going through :(

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, yes... so sad.

magiceye, they are.

William, SOON!

Erika, I´m afraid Putin wins. Then we´re all in trouble. All we can do is hope the Ukrainian people get enough weapons, sad and brutal as that sounds. They need to defend themselves.
Wonder if it´s but the woman and her kids and the husband had to stay to fight?

Divers and Sundry, it makes me want to cry.

Jeanie said...

You smile. You say hello and welcome. And if there are other ways to help. you can do that, too. Showing that you care always matters.

Bill said...

Very sad to hear the news and see the images. I hope it will end soon.

Iris Flavia said...

Jeanie, if I was that strong.
All the horrible pics we all saw... I will give my best, though (but I´m no actor...)

Bill, yes, never understand how t could happen in the first place.

RedPat said...

That is a sobering sight. It really brings things right to you. Those poor people.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes. They at least had their car...

River said...

I can't even imagine having to run with nothing but a bag of clothes and a phone. I wonder what Putin's mother would think of his actions? I'm crying every night as I watch the TV news. I'm so glad these people at least have somewhere to go, so many neighbouring countries to take them in and help. I wonder how many will go home again, or make a new life somewhere else?

Iris Flavia said...

The Ukrainians are determined to go back, most, at least.
They WERE in the USSR and don´t want to come back - the want a free Ukraine, be a part of Europe!
Yes. What would Putin´s mother think. She would be soooo ashamed.
The whole world hates him, for a reason.

It's hard to leave not knowing what you will find when you go back. It's even harder knowing that there is a real possibility that you will never be able to go back.

I agree with David.

I agree, it must be heartbreaking to have to leave everything you know behind.
