Help Ukraine fight on

To the editor:

As we contemplate our actions moving forward into five years of Russia’s fullscale invasion and our onward journey to Ukraine’s victory, it’s important to look back at the work we’ve done and how far we’ve come. 

From tutoring refugee children and adults, to taking in Ukraine’s war refugees in my own home, from the highs and lows of standing side by side with war veterans including the severely wounded, to being undermined and attacked by political opposition and Russian propagandists, to surviving peril under Russian bombs myself… I decided to live my life by showing up for our community again and again, and to continue my commitment, alongside many of my friends, to fight for the U.S.-Ukraine defense alliance, to forge pathways forward, all the way until the end until the job is done. I didn’t need to be in the military to learn from our American and Ukrainian brothers and sisters who simultaneously fight tyrannical regions of Iran and Russia on multiple active fronts.

That being said,  I am making myself available for public discussion about our people’s war effort on Tuesday, March 24, at 5:40 p.m. at the Iranian restaurant “Rumi’s Kitchen” in downtown D.C. Those who can are invited to join me at the U.S. Capitol this spring to discuss the future path toward victory. 

On the next day, Wednesday, March 25, I will be reporting live from the U.S. capitol and will connect with my community on my publicly available channels questions for the Ukrainian military command who will be present alongside the Department of War. 

I will return to Southwest Florida on Thursday, March 26, where I hope to meet in Naples with Ukrainian Archbishop Borys Gudziak and our Ukrainian Catholic University, for which I briefly taught a course in Lviv during Russia’s active invasion.  If you would like to link up with me at any point during my tour for our public mission, or send me questions to inquire to Ukraine’s military Command, please write to me at alexzpublicrelations@gmail.com. 

As always, I welcome you to follow my work on my social media pages, as well as reporting on my website www.kyivfreepress.com which was launched this past summer in Kyiv during Ukraine’s summer counteroffensive. Likewise, you can always stay posted in our local Breeze network as I will always update my community on our progress toward a just peace.

Lastly, please consider donating to Peace Through Strength Institute, to help my friends and I cover the fees it takes to bring Ukrainian Command to the states next week: ptsinstitute.us/contribute 

Many thanks for your support!
