We would like to commend Dr. DavideGottsegen for his insightful column, “As war rolls on, support for Ukraine must continue,” in the Jan. 20 Gazette. He eloquently and correctly condenses the issues, outlines the over 1,000 year history of Ukraine and its people, and documents why Ukraine and Ukrainians are totally blameless in this unjustified, unprovoked war by Russia on this sovereign nation in Eastern Europe. As children of the Ukrainian diaspora, we learned about many of the topics noted in Gottsegen’s excellent column in our Ukrainian Saturday school classes on Ukraine, its language, culture, history, and religion. We are pleased and touched that he took the time and made the effort to share his wisdom with our community.
