The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees says that he’s worried that the war in Ukraine has been forgotten as the country prepares to mark two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees said Wednesday that he’s worried that the war in Ukraine has been forgotten as the country prepares to mark two years since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
UNHCR chief Filippo Grandi also told The Associated Press in an interview that it was important to remind the international community that Ukrainians were living through a brutal war despite other global crises taking the spotlight.
Speaking at the end of a weeklong visit to Ukraine, Grandi said that the invasion, which was launched by Moscow on Feb. 24, 2022, continues to bring devastation to civilians with houses destroyed, health centers hit and many facilities not functioning.
“I think the big difference from last year to this year is that this year, this is not news anymore in the world," Grandi said. “There is somehow a trend towards getting used to Ukrainian suffering.”
I mean didn’t they get enough billions of our tax dollars already
No. They have saved us money on having to dispose of old munitions. They haven’t gotten a penny. The money is going to the MIC to pay for the inevitable resupply of new ammo
The money is going to American wages.
The billions were gonna go to the MIC anyways at least now there was a better reason than “defense”.
And what Ukraine has received is mostly stuff paid for years ago. It’s not new expenses. The DoD has to account for it though as part of government audits. The aide is essentially writing off value of assets donated.
They should be getting every cent being supplied to Israel.
