Dear Editor,
This past weekend, videos about our brave little state standing with Ukraine were seen around the world.
My compatriots and I offer heartfelt thanks to all Vermonters who have expressed their support for my native country after the shocking decision of the United States to side with Russia on the UN Security Council resolution and the latest meeting of Zelenskyy and Trump in the Oval Office.
Appeasing Putin, the aggressor, and blaming Ukraine, the victim, while Russia is dropping bombs on civilian neighborhoods and hospitals in Ukraine is wrong.
No one desires peace more than the Ukrainian people, but why would they want peace with no security guarantees and without justice when the aggressor country, Russia, is not punished but rewarded for its crimes?
Svetlana Phillips, Cavendish
