Editorial: Standing against violence, hate amid crisis in Ukraine
The war in Ukraine is a devastating reminder of how fragile lives, and lifestyles, are.
A week ago, the people we knew in our sister city of Kharkiv were professionals, many of them teachers, living in comfortable homes with their families.
Today, the ones we can find tell us they are refugees, hiding with their families in subway stations and bomb shelters 바카라 게임 웹사이트 others we can't connect with at all. They are simply gone.
We hope for the best, knowing it could be days, weeks or months before we will know for sure if they are OK.
We've also talked with local people who emigrated here from Ukraine. They come from all walks of life 바카라 게임 웹사이트 they are store owners, musicians, students.
Our community has embraced them all 바카라 게임 웹사이트 the Ukrainians are a part of Cincinnati.
We condemn the violence, the attacks and the invasion. What we are really saying, in part, is that we condemn hatred and divisiveness.
But speaking out against hate is not something we should do only when a dictator stages an invasion. Wrapping our arms around our neighbors is a daily duty for us all.
If anything good can come from this war, it would be a recognition that we are all, at some level, part of the same global community.
