Daily Kos ☛ My Conversation with a Ukrainian Soldier
I was recently fortunate enough to find myself in Europe for a wedding and some travel. On one of the flights, a young man in a Ukrainian military uniform sat down beside us. I thanked him for his service, told him I wish we were doing more to help, and disparaged our president a bit, which amused him. I was extremely excited but didn’t want to pepper him with questions about a war he was getting a reprieve from; and as he moved into earbud mode, I let him rest for the flight.
