Dear Editor:
Russia invaded Ukraine in Crimea and in the Donbas six years ago.
As a result of Russia’s incessant military aggression against Ukraine since then, over 13,000 individuals have been killed and over 30,000 injured in the Donbas, and there are currently over 1.5 million internally displaced persons in Ukraine.
During this military aggression, six years ago – on 17 July 17, 2014 – Russian military forces downed civilian flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine, horrifying the world and killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew members aboard.
