Around the world, messages of love and support are flowing over to those in Ukraine as we can only watch the situation unfold, hoping things get better. Whatever happens today, we hope the situation is nullified and it may never happen again.
I sincerely hope & pray this heat between #Russia & #Ukraine cools down. There’s so much at stake.

Fortunately or unfortunately, there’s always a meme for every occasion. At the start I personally did not think this situation would take effect but here we are.
