As a pensioner I find it hard to make ends meet but I am so moved by the brutality towards the Ukrainian people I did give a sizable donation to the International Red Cross specifically targeted towards helping displaced Ukrainians. I sincerely hope at least some of it helped some neuro-diverse people there. I am utterly appalled by what Putin is doing to feed his ego and misplaced sense of history. In many respects it is as if Hitler has come back to life.
