History tells us that wars cause irreversible and unimaginable loss. Civilians are killed; homes, schools and places of worship destroyed. People need peace, stability and dignity more than anything else. Russia must stop the attack on Ukraine immediately.

For nearly half a decade, my family called Kyiv home. The people of Ukraine have every right to their sovereignty, without unprovoked aggression from their neighbors. Praying for all human lives & hoping for better sense to prevail. War is never the answer. #RussiaUkraineConflict

If the Russian / Ukrainian conflict evokes a sense of fairness n justice , a humane desire to protect the weaker in them , Why all of the western powers are totally indiffrent towards Saudi carpet bombings and atrocities on a small country like Yemen .

If I could somehow summon the powers of a real life #Peacemaker I think this would be a great time to do so.

In Ukraine, at least 137 people have been killed and 316 wounded as Russia unleashed airstrikes on cities and military bases, sending troops and tanks from multiple directions.

The UN refugee agency said around 100,000 people fled their homes in Ukraine and several thousand more left the country after the invasion began.
