Tommy, I am in tears for you, your relatives, and for the Ukrainian people. What's happening is monstrous.
My great-grandfather studied Russian Orthodox theology in Kyiv before becoming a priest and theology professor in Estonia. It is said to be a very beautiful city. I believe he was ethnically Russian, but a DNA test showed I have Ukrainian ancestry too - I'm mostly Estonian and Finnish.
But even if I didn't have a drop of Ukrainian DNA, I would still be sickened by this sociopath's brutal invasion of an independent nation that was of no threat to Russia.
