American singer Kelsie Kimberlin, who has Ukrainian roots, believes that the issue of supporting Ukraine should be actively raised both in the media and in government bodies. The singer is convinced that thanks to public interest in the topic and the active position of President Joseph Biden, a big war on the border between Ukraine and Russia can be stopped or at least prevented.
“I am calling on everyone to take a moment to reflect on what it is like to be Ukrainian, free from war. Close your eyes and imagine our verdant fertile lands long called the breadbasket of the world because we provide sustenance to the planet not only with food, but with goodness, beauty, and humanity. Envision hundreds of miles of glorious sunflowers moving in unison with the sun and then lowering their petals for a peaceful night. Hear the bustling of vibrant cosmopolitan cities and listen as the wind carries the sounds of horses bringing wagons of fruits and vegetables to the village markets. See the children playing and laughing outdoors without a care in the world. This is the Ukraine that awaits us as long as all civilized nations and all civilized citizens on the planet unite in solidarity with us to oppose a broader war and regain our territory. Together, we are all one, because as Ukraine stands, so stands the entire free world. #StandWithUkraine,” says Kelsie Kimberlin.
Kelsie believes that staying on the sidelines and just watching the events unfolding on the territory of Ukraine is absolutely wrong.
For Kelsie, the Ukrainian issue is especially acute for personal reasons because the singer’s mother was born not far from the place that is now called the line of demarcation — the territory of Ukraine.
“My cousin is trapped in occupied Donetsk unable to visit his family in free Ukraine. My mother’s close friend lost her mother to enemy fire in Avdivka while simply walking to the store to buy bread. My friend in the armed forces is now recovering in Mariupol after being injured by shrapnel from an anti-personnel device dropped by an enemy drone. Similar tragic stories are being told by tens of thousands of families all across Ukraine who did nothing to deserve such loss and suffering,” said Kelsie Kimberlin.
She further added, “Seven percent of our country is under brutal occupation with millions of people facing daily blackouts, starvation, unsafe drinking water, non-existent health care, and a lack of other basic human services. More than 15,000 Ukrainians have been killed, including women and children who have been indiscriminately slaughtered by the repeated bombardment from the aggressor’s heavy weapons, all in violation of the laws of war. Millions of others have fled their homes only to become refugees longing for a return to normalcy”, says Kelsie.
She believes that Ukrainians who have chosen democracy over autocracy want to be free to fulfill their destiny as citizens of the world with universal rights based on mutual understanding and respect. And, in her opinion, the civilized world must find a solution to this problem in order to prevent a war and do everything possible so that Ukraine remains free in its intentions and has full support both at the diplomatic, military, economic levels, and in the media space.
