Ukraine has now been a sovereign and independent nation for over 30 years. As a sovereign and independent nation, Ukraine’s foreign policy is not a matter to be determined by Russia, the United States, or the European Union — it is a matter for Ukrainians. 

Russian leader Vladimir Putin clearly disagrees. As Ukraine pursues a policy of closer alignment with the West, its relations with Russia have deteriorated to the point of being on the brink of a full-scale war. 

During the last two decades, we Venezuelans have experienced the systematic and traumatic takeover of our democratic institutions.

Our judicial system is no longer impartial, apolitical, and respectful of the rule of law. Our different branches of government are no longer independent from one another. And virtually all major politicians of opposition are either in exile or banned from public life.

Dear Friends of Liberty,

The unfortunate story of my friend, Pamela Adie who was turned back at the borders of Mozambique a few days ago isn’t new but reinforces the horrible and ridiculous travel situations for many Africans within the continent.

Since late-2021, we at Freedom Today Network have been following really closely the ongoing and growing conflict taking place in Ukraine.

For those of you who have been following the situation as well, we want to thank you for doing so – because as Martin Luther King said, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
