Letter from Ashok Malhotra

Writer Appeals to President Biden

It is sad for all of us because the war in Ukraine is dragging on into the second year. You may ask: “What has Russia accomplished in one year and at what price?” The same question can be asked of Ukraine? The answer is disturbing, because more than 200,000 young soldiers from Ukraine and Russia have lost their lives; more than 100 ancient monuments and 1,000 buildings have been destroyed, and 5-6 million Ukrainian citizens who have been made refugees had to leave their beloved country.

You should also ask: “Who is footing the bill of more than $60 billion of U.S. aid and weapons sent to Ukraine for this war of destruction, bringing more misery than happiness?” Of course, the U.S. taxpayer is paying for it through inflated prices at the grocery stores, higher rents and higher mortgage rates, while making more people homeless. Now, to add fuel to fire, the U.S., Germany and Poland are sending more than 100 modern tanks to continue this war of destruction which is bleeding the U.S. economy!
