In related news, Manor’s Ukrainian Heritage Studies Center and Museum hosted a vigil on the three-year anniversary of Russia’s war against Ukraine on February 24, The Washington Post reported.
Ukrainians fleeing the war and Americans with Ukrainian roots wore traditional embroidered shirts and “tried to find hope amid the political turmoil surrounding the conflict.”
“Today, I feel about as scared and nervous as I did three years ago, when the war started, and no one expected that Ukraine would be able to defend itself,” said Chrystyna Prokopovych, a curator at the museum. “But the hope built up, and with the help of other countries, especially the United States, Ukraine was able to preserve its freedom. With some of the new developments, I am scared and very worried.”
The story notes that tensions have escalated following President Donald Trump’s meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the United States’ recent vote against a U.N. resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine and calling for the return of Ukrainian territory.
