What does this mean?

Russia VS Ukraine

The differences:

What would you do?

1. I would stay in my country
2. I would leave my country

Here are five ‘golden rules’ countries should follow:

1. Treat everyone equally 🧑🏿‍🤝‍🧑🏾

Anyone fleeing Ukraine should be given protection without discrimination.

2. Humanity first ❤️

Provide people with humane reception conditions and care according to their specific needs.

3. Keep all families together 🏠

Both at the border and by uniting them in Europe.

4. Cut the red tape ✂️

Bureaucratic delays can lead to thousands of people stuck at borders in awful conditions. Keep the borders open and suspending entry requirements.

5. Share responsibility 🤝

At the European and international level for receiving and relocating people fleeing danger.  

So, how do you feel about this?

What do countries do to help?

- Send money to Ukraine

- "Freeze' Russian money

- Send weapons to Ukraine

- Welcome Ukrainian refugees

- ...

And non-NATO countries sent military help!
