Can’t stand by for more Russian atrocities

SURELY, there’s something we can do, as a community, to demonstrate our outrage at the latest atrocity inflicted on the people of Ukraine by the crazed Russian regime.

Thirty people are confirmed dead, 30 are in hospital and 30 to 40 are missing believed dead after a huge cruise missile hit an apartment block in the central-south city of Dnipro.
According to reporters, the weapon was a Russian Kh-22 missile with a huge payload of 950kg of explosive capability, designed to destroy warships in the Cold War era, not to be fired indiscriminately into a residential area.

It must have been known that such an attack would inflict terrible loss and suffering.
If the Russians are capable of that, what next.

Certainly we can support the Ukrainian response with a cash donation and the following organisations are working on the ground in war-ravaged country: Caritas Australia, Ukraine Crisis Appeal, United Help Ukraine, Voices of Children, Ukrainian Red Cross, and CARE Australia.

English-language news outlets based in the country, such as the Kyiv Independent and the New Voice of Ukraine are also worthy of support.
There have been daily protests mounted by the Australian-Ukraine community in Sydney but if a local organisation wanted to stage a ‘Stop the War in Ukraine’ protest locally, we would certainly support it.

Certainly, we don’t want to see this event escalate into a nuclear or world-war style conflict, but surely there’s more that the countries of the world can do, and that we can do locally as well.
