When Putin announced a military campaign to “demilitarize and denazify Ukraine,” we knew it was a lie. His motives are to reestablish the old boundaries of the Soviet Union. Now, Belarus is preparing to send soldiers into Ukraine in support of the Russian invasion. (Belarus’ capital Minsk is just over 100 miles from Vilnius.) Ukraine’s brave fight for independence against Russia and Belarus is OUR fight.
As Sauliai, what can we do to help?
MP Dalia Asanaviciute has been a big supporter of https://www.blue-yellow.lt/en/ a Lithuanian-based charity supporting military and humanitarian efforts for a free Ukraine. Dalia is Member of Lithuania’s Seimas—our parliament. Former Detroiter and Lithuanian diplomat, Ginte Damusyte, has also been promoting this charity on social media.A Saulys pledges to support Lithuania’s independence, and our fortunes are tied to Ukraine’s. In that spirit, we are taking up a collection to support BLUE/YELLOW.
Donations will be collected and sent on behalf of Detroito Svyturio Kuopa.
