The Peace Corps has a virtual presence in Ukraine.
Perhaps that could be expanded in areas which would help train Ukrainian women for vital jobs more quickly.

Speaker Mike Johnson survived an attempt to oust him by nutjob Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The way I see it, Democrats propped him up this time in return for letting aid to Ukraine come to a vote and pass in the House of Representatives.
Saving Ukraine is easily worth having Johnson as a figurehead speaker for a few more months.

Russia is using poison gas in Ukraine in violation of international law.
The West needs to ramp up arms production and give Ukraine anything it wants other than nukes.
Things are looking better for US aid to Ukraine in the US House of Representatives.
The US will begin delivery of arms, ammunition, and air defense systems the moment that President Biden signs the bill into law.
Not sure where the president will be this weekend. But he will want get his signature on that bill ASAP.

People in Ukraine should write to select US House members.

Ukrainian friends, make an individual pitch to key members of the US House of Representatives.
Don't know if anybody has tried to do this yet, but person to person contact can be very effective.

Giving dictators what they wanted in Munich in 1938 only greased the start of WWII less than a year later.
Trump is a malignant ball of orange pus who would be 0 if he were not a nepo baby.
Trump is little more than a Putin influencer with 6 bankruptcies, 3 wives, and 4 criminal indictments.
Prof. Timothy Snyder is one of the foremost US historians of Eastern Europe and advocates of liberal democracy.
He wrote in his Substack about the odious House Speaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson.
Here are excerpts from his piece.

If Trump is Putin's dung, Johnson is a dung beetle.
Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski gave a compelling speech on Monday followed by a discussion. NATO, Putin's aggression in Ukraine, and Europe were some of the topics covered.
He made a good case for continuing US support for Ukraine.

US voters who live in congressional districts won by the GOP in 2022 but which voted for Biden in 2020 have a disproportionate amount of political leverage to help get Ukraine aid passed in the House.
If you live in one of these districts, contact your reps and insist that they pass the aid package.
It's useful to say that Ronald Reagan would be dismayed by inaction which helps the Evil Empire.

The problem is that the Trump lickspittles who control the US House of Representatives are perfectly fine with remaking the world – in a very bad way.
Pro-Ukraine NGOs in Eastern Europe should do more outreach to their diasporas in the US. Pressure from voters in swing districts on GOP Representatives in an election year would be more effective than warnings from foreign leaders.
@anneapplebaum
We all know who Minister Sikorski meant by this...
«There is never a shortage of pocket Chamberlains willing to trade other peoples' freedom or land for their own peace of mind.»
Republicans in the US are now Chamberlain fans and the party of Ameican Weakness.
@KyivIndependent_official It’s time to give them everything and anything they want to succeed. They are protecting us all. Why aren’t they getting more?!?!? They trusted us. They gave up a lot under US worthless guarantees. Why are we now letting them down?!?? #Ukraine #UkraineAidNow #DefeatRussia #jeffmerkley #savedemocracy #saveface
@wdlindsy Mike Johnson is unfit for any responsibility other than being his church's masturbation monitor. #UkraineAidNow
