By DARLENE VANN / Headline SurferEDGEWATER, Fla. -- Russia's invasion of Ukraine is so upsetting.
Vladimir Putin threatening nuclear weapons makes it that much worse.
In just one week since the invasion, more than one million refugees have fled their bombed-out cities in Ukraine for safety in Poland, Romania, and Hungary.
The videos on the news of men crying -- having to say goodbye to their wives and children at the border (all men 18-60 are not allowed to leave Ukraine because they are needed to fight) not knowing if they will ever see them again is just so hear-wrenching to me.
The Ukrainian military personnel and the citizens alike are doing a great job even though they are outmanned so they are improvising with things like Molotov cocktails against tanks and armored vehicles.
Hopefully, the sanctions by the US and its NATO allies will continue to hurt the ruble and the Russian economy.
Those sanctions don’t do anything to Putin personally but are affecting the Russian people and that has to have some kind of impact.
I have no answers but more sanctions depriving the people doesn’t seem right. For many reasons, our country cannot send the arms that they really need. We are doing what we can with Ukraine not being part of NATO.
This war just makes me sick -- Putin's forces using cluster bombs, which are illegal, and killing innocent civilians needlessly.
God bless the Ukrainians - who have proven to be staunch defenders of their country against Putin and his massive ego, but I fear the killing is only going to get worse in the days and weeks ahead.
