To Mr. Putin:

News of Kiev is being heard a lot. And it moves me, for my mother was born in Kiev. When she was3 years old she came to the U.S. in her mother’s arms. My father came from the Ukraine or German-Polish border. Mr. Putin, you are a bully and a thief, stealing from Ukraine. Russia is rich with territorial land, oil, uranium andplutonium, yet you steal.

In the past, your country robbed me, my mother and my entire family of any inheritance.
