“It’s just so inspiring and reassuring to see the pro-life vote out in force,” said Oksana Petrenko, a six-year-old from Mariupol.
OCCUPIED AND UNOCCUPIED UKRAINE AND RUSSIA — Kidnapped war orphans, shattered parents, deeply scarred veterans, and other victims of Russia’s horrifying, unprovoked, immoral, unlawful invasion and occupation of Ukraine agreed this week that they are glad voters in key states in the U.S. election voted their conscience.
“It’s just so inspiring and reassuring to see the pro-life vote out in force,” said Oksana Petrenko, a six-year-old from Mariupol whose memories of her real parents and siblings fade more each day in her dark Siberian bedroom.
“I am sure the new American President will honor the spirit of this movement by protecting the millions of innocent children still cowering in the face of Russia’s disgusting onslaught,” she added.
Oleksiy Shevchenko, whose wife and infant child were murdered in a targeted Russian strike, agreed, saying, “I’m glad I’m not the only one who would stop at nothing to halt the murder of innocents - wherever they are, and whether I know them or not.”
