Ukraine

I’m rather ignorant about the world. Until Ukraine became the big news topic, I didn’t know much about it. Well, I still don’t, but it’s on my radar now.

However, I probably have a closer connection to Ukraine than most Americans, since I have Ukrainian relatives. Two of my cousins were adopted from Ukraine.

One of those cousins has older siblings that are living in Ukraine. Normally, I don’t pay much attention to the news. But this somehow feels more personal, since the events are directly affecting family of my extended family.
