🔴 Urgent Call for Action 🔴
Dear members and supporters of the Ukrainian Club of Berkeley,
We are facing a critical situation in Ukraine, particularly in the city of Kharkiv, the second-largest city in our homeland. Russian forces are escalating their attacks, aiming to wipe out not just our people but also the very essence of our city, its animals, and its natural environment.
Today, on April 11th, Kharkiv experienced a series of explosions during an air raid. The mayor, Igor Terekhov, reported the harrowing events, underscoring the urgency of the situation.
Recent weeks have seen a surge in Russian shelling of Kharkiv and its surrounding areas. The aggressor’s strikes have intensified, targeting civilian areas and even children.
The russian milirary has changed tactics, resorting to double strikes on the same location, with a clear aim to cripple Ukrainian emergency services. The devastating attack on the power grid on March 22nd left Kharkiv virtually powerless, with scheduled blackouts exacerbating the situation.
Reports from American media indicate that Russia’s intensified assaults on Kharkiv aim to render the city uninhabitable, turning it into a gray zone devoid of life.
In this dire moment, we call upon you to take action. Please reach out to your representatives and urge them to support Ukraine in establishing a system of city sky protection, vital for safeguarding our people, our wildlife, and our environment in Kharkiv. Together, we can make a difference and stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Ukraine.
🇺🇦
