hi there, everybody, it s 4:00 in new york, if war is hell as those who know say, then it has been a year of hell on earth for millions in ukraine, a year of anguish and grief of bravery and heroics, of death and destruction, and of pride. and hope still. that ukraine still stands today, one year after the war began is nothing short of a miracle, one of the ukrainians own making. my most conservative estimates, 8,000 civilians in ukraine are dead. 13,000 have been injured. 5 million have been at least temporarily displaced within ukraine, plus another 8 million ukrainians have been forced to plea abroad, the equivalent of every person in los angeles, chicago, houston, phoenix, philadelphia, and san antonio, all of them, suddenly end violently driven from their homes and lives. and all of that is to say nothing of military casualties that have been suffered, an estimated more than 10,000 plus ukrainian troops are dead, many of whom were school teachers or shop owners or utilit
