With breaking news and shocking headlines still happening on a weekly basis, sometimes it's hard to believe that the current war in Ukraine has been going on for more than three years. You may have heard a neighbor or family member asking… why should the United States be involved at all? With so many problems here at home, why should we care about a war on the other side of the world?

Well, there’s two different ways to answer that question: the humanitarian crisis, and our national security. In this episode, we dive into both.

Trump still says he’s committed to ending the war. But will he end it in a way that’s good for Ukraine and democracy? Or will he end it in a way that’s good for Vladimir Putin... and himself? This war is already tragically close to home for kids in Ukraine, and it could be other kids across the world – including ours – that feel it next.

So the next time you hear someone ask why the United States should care about this war, you can share this episode and tell them exactly why we should support Ukraine.
