I was interested to find out what my Ukrainian friends feel.

I didn't want to ask them because that would taint my example. Instead I looked on their facebook pages. Fortunately my computer was able to translate Ukrainian to English. Without exception the ex pat Ukrainians that I have come to know are rejoicing that Trump thumped Zelensky.

I just met an old coworker from Ukraine. It was right after the peace deal meeting today, so she likely hadn't seen it, as she was just barely getting off work. I told her I'm sorry for the way Ukrainians are being treated. She got this look on her face as if to say, "You have no idea" and agreed. She shared something deeply personal with me, patted me on the elbow (which, knowing her, is her way of hugging) and then walked away with both of us trying not to cry... maybe one of us more than the other.

I hope she'll be okay when she finds out my country just abandoned hers.
