Hardly any portal of this kind reads something about the invasion of Russia and war against Ukraine.

It is reported non-stop in the media every day. You get the feeling that people in this business don't really care what's going on there. Maybe because it's too far away for us?

I just want to write here how helpless one feels, despite the great solidarity and humanitarian aid. When I look at the reports, it moves me so much that I don't want to look at them.

But at the same time it makes you angry against the aggressors from Russia and this despot Putin. Everyone has been fooled by this lunatic for years. In this dire situation, I can't do anything other than donate something.

It is a kind of impotence for Europe, not being able to really help Nato and the rest of the world other than sanctions against Russia and its isolation. Logically, Ukraine and its President Zelenskyy feel abandoned by the West.

One allows oneself to be impressed by threats from Russia because one does not want to risk anything, for understandable reasons of course. Having a war again after more than 80 years across Europe would affect us all.

In my opinion, all neighboring countries that are not yet in NATO should join NATO now at the latest. Even those who may have committed to neutrality many years ago. Merkel prevented Ukraine's membership in 2008, although the USA had spoken out in favor of it at the time. This is now the result of political failure.

So the only hope left is that the Russian soldiers and the Russian population will recognize the truth and remember what they are actually doing there. Only they themselves can stop and overthrow Putin.

There are small signs of this, but unfortunately everything is being done in Russia to prevent exactly that.

Many have left behind their belongings and have already fled. The last OSCE monitors have now temporarily left Ukraine.

For hundreds of thousands of people who stayed or who cannot or do not want to flee, the situation is getting worse. Because these would have to be evacuated immediately. The humanitarian situation there is catastrophic.

I simply have no more words for it and I hope that at least the war crimes tribunal in The Hague will accuse not only Russia but also Putin himself as such. But unfortunately that would not change anything about the current situation.
