As the SEIU we do not condone any actions done in regards to the current Russian attacks towards Ukraine. These attacks are putting people in danger and forcing them into pausing their daily lives, this includes school and work. Many of the adults in Ukraine have to leave their jobs because they have to fight or they are trying to escape from the war. This will cause people to lose their incomes and therefore struggle to maintain financially stable. People won’t be able to purchase necessary goods as much as before and families may go through hunger due to that. Although people’s financial status is one of the least important variables during this war it still affects people and even the economy.

Without a doubt what Putin is doing is horrible and our party is against it, a multitude of innocent people are dying and losing their homes due to Russia's invasion, and a plethora of war crimes are being committed by the Russians. Everyone is against this war and in support of Ukraine but at the same time, there is little we can do without sparking a war of course sanctions are the most we can do but there can be other ways to support because we are not just hurting Russia with sanctions but everyone else even ourselves. Our candidate fully supports Ukraine and will help in any way possible without endangering and harming America and other countries. As Americans, we will stand for our country in given case of attacks, and we will not allow for our people to be terrorized by Russia or any Russian leaders. With caution, we will ensure to stand by Ukraine and America simultaneously, aiding its people in the best ways we possibly can in order to prevent further damage. In spite of this, it is important to note that Putin will be penalized for his actions, whether that punishment comes from American handles or not, and it is of essence as members of NATO to provide proper care for neighboring countries to Ukraine that simultaneously find themselves in a position of danger.

We, the organization of Naral Pro-Choice America, do not agree with the actions and atrocities that Russia has committed against the Ukrainian people. Although this organization is not really relevant to the current issue, Russia attacking Ukraine, it does not mean that in the future, Russia will have a huge impact on women as well. We are concerned that Russia is going to forcefully make women participate in the attack. This issue has us, our members, concerned for the safety of the Ukrainian people and their choice. As of now what we can do is spread awareness on social media, advertisements, etc. -diana velazquez

We believe that what Putin is doing is wrong. We disagree with his decisions and support Ukraine fully. Unfortunately, we can’t do much besides sanction off Russia. The best thing to do is stay out of it and hope for the best. If we get involved, the worst thing that could happen is a World War. We would also be at a disadvantage if Russia would decide to use nuclear weapons since they have more than anyone in the world. I think both parties agree that this is unfortunate and shouldn’t be happening. I also think both parties support Ukraine and disagree with Russia. Our candidate thinks we should just stay out of it and not get involved. If Russia attacks anyone from NATO then we would be forced to participate but until that happens the best thing to do now is sanction them off (but leave oil alone).. More people could get hurt if we do get involved.

The Ukrainian war with Russia has drastically harmed everything and everyone, and the political parties want to help in every way they can. As a member of the Democratic Party, we want to find a candidate that is willing to bring the right awareness to help the people in Ukraine while also helping Americans. The candidates we strongly look for are leaders who aren’t impulsive, the ones who ask the input of others and can determine a solution we all can benefit from. During this war we’ve seen two different types of leaders, the president of Ukraine is currently fighting along Ukrainian soldiers while the president of Russia is gathering civilians and sending them off to fight. The Democratic Party needs a candidate who can support the Ukrainians and still keep Americans safe.

As we all know the U.S cannot interfere with Russia, we are still supporting Ukraine by banning trade and no longer purchasing oil from Russia. This however has affected the costs of living for many Americans and will worsen if we don’t elect the right candidate. The Democratic Party needs our leader to inform the people that all that is happening with our economy is to help Ukrainians and hopefully gain positive support from Americans. These candidates should be reaching out to gain a relationship with the people. This can include posting awareness on social media, via mail, email, phone, messages, or even at the door. Once our candidates gain trust and form relationships with the people they can further start proposing ways to support Ukraine and still manage to live in America.

Position:

Russia has pushed back on setting up guardrails. It’s certainly not helping matters that as the war disrupts electricity generation across Ukraine, people may switch to backup generators running on diesel. The war in Ukraine offers American and European leaders an opportunity to advance clean energy while combating Putin and at least some of them are taking advantage of it.

Impact of the issue:

Weapons have been flooding, with causing the surface to shift and carrying toxic chemicals that now threaten the region’s water supply. The health effects of these kinds of wartime incidents are likely to be felt long after the physical conflict subsides, says Doug Weir, director of research and policy at the UK-based Conflict and Environment Observatory.

Weapons have the potential to leave not only immediate destruction, but a longer tail of polluted air and water that will be felt by nearby residents long after the conflict subsides. As a heavily industrialized country, Ukraine already had a baseline of bad air. This air pollution will be wildly complex, due to the lack of modern war. Missiles, shelling, and tank rounds are chewing up pretty much the entirety of the built environment. Explosions launch a wide array of materials into the air, from heavy metals in industrial sites to the concrete, cables, and piping in roads, to asbestos from buildings. (The material, which is linked to lung disease and cancer, was only recently banned in Ukraine.)

Spreading ideas:

European Union officials are finalizing a strategy to slash the continent’s use of natural gas, in part by accelerating deployment of solar power, renewable hydrogen and energy efficiency.

The recent developments in Ukraine are, to put it short, tragedies. Our party is determined to help and support Ukraine to the best of our abilities. We’d do so without risking the American people, of course.

My party and I both agree that the war between Russia and Ukraine is horrible and needs to be stopped. The way America is currently handling the situation is… decent. But, of course, we can always do better. On Sunday, March 13, it was reported that Russian warplanes fired ~30 missiles at a Ukrainian military base, less than 13 miles away from Poland’s border, bringing the war even closer to a NATO country.

More support needs to be sent to Poland and neighboring countries in support of Ukraine. It is no longer focused on money. Just power. I’d rather pay $7 for gas than be in the middle of a war.
