Shared Responsibility #Alaska #summit #Putin #Trump #Ukraine

We must put words into action
more than willing, acting,
a united front, joining
with them in this fight
against our common enemy
no longer shrinking from
shared responsibility,
not denying hybrid war,
united together with them,
standing with Ukraine…
 
Tides are moving quickly,
a tsunami of capitulation, betrayal,
appeasement is at its zenith,
lies being believed, propaganda,
actions being taken in secret,
great powers meeting
ready to carve up Europe
as has previously been done
at such a great cost, war,
not standing with Ukraine…
 
The time for talk is long over
there is terror, genocide looming,
risks have never been higher
advances on the battlefield,
far less than in the meetings
the backchannel discussions
NATO on the cutting board
talk of empires looming
oligarchs ready for profit
if we do not stand with Ukraine…

“During the discussion "No Security – No Recovery", organized by Victor Pinchuk Foundation and YES on the occasion of URC in Rome, Khrystyna Boychuk, Officer, National Guard of Ukraine, called for more weapons for Ukraine and more decisive support of European states: “We cannot hold the front line forever. Ukrainians will keep fighting, but if you want the front line to stay where it is, your time has come. We need weapons, we need equipment, we need technologies, air defense, we need responsibility. Shared responsibility.”
