There has been a great outpouring of feeling about the situation in Ukraine internationally. Every day we see images and reports of the devastating events in Ukraine. There is real sympathy for the plight of Ukrainians and a strong desire to stop the suffering and the war. Russian people too are being arrested for protesting in their thousands.
