Four years after being invaded by Russia, Ukraine is still fighting for survival.
Even as current headlines are all about the Iran war, the Strait of Hormuz and rising gas price, the war in Ukraine stretches on and on and speaks to America’s own challenges.
As Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Ann Arbor’s Zingerman’s Delicatessen (and the iconic businesses that followed it), writes: “While our own country seems to be stuck in existential angst over whether we collectively prefer autocracy or democracy, Ukrainians appear almost universally clear that they are not interested in living in an autocracy. They demonstrate that daily through their willingness to fight and die for democracy.”
