Thank you for the conversation Felice, Mark, Charminique, Lorette, Cathy, Duval, and Natasha, I want to know more about how this war start, the origins of Ukraine and Russia.

But have there every been economic sanctions on a country as big as these are? These seems to be historic.

Also sanctions are government-led, but there are also many companies pulling out of Russia spontaneously which is having a bottom-up impact.

Thanks so much!

Could someone address how some people, including Putin, are using the expansion of NATO as rationale / excuse for Russia’s invasion of a sovereign Ukraine?

Our other points: (1) a global citizen's responsibility to stay informed; (2) when we pay attention to one thing, we forget others -- what about other conflicts?

Terry this is something we discussed in our group too.
