In an Opinion piece for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, local civic and business leader Emory Morsberger, founder of HelpingUkraine.us, calls for continued support of Ukraine on today’s Independence Day.
He emphasizes the importance of honoring commitments made under the Budapest Memorandum, where Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances. Morsberger argues that Russia’s ongoing aggression violates this agreement, and the muted international response undermines global security principles.
As a Rotarian deeply committed to peace and humanitarian efforts, Morsberger has been actively involved in providing aid to Ukraine through “The Great Rotary Relay.”
