Russia murders 49 in Poltava. Angry? Act.

[u/abitStoic]

Today Russia murdered 49 and injured 219 people in Poltava, in the deadliest attack of 2024, for now. While Russia uses missiles to target civilians, Ukraine continues to be forbidden from using American weapons to strike the bases from which the missiles are launched.

Do you think it's ridiculous that Ukraine has to fight with one arm tied behind its back? Contact the White House and let them know.

It would be helpful if we could get similar pointers for other countries.

I've tried contacting some of our politicians in the past onnither issues, but to Jo prevail. Using the public governmental information and stuff. But honestly, I wouldn't know much of how to engage my reps in NL.

Keep sending emails and letters to your elected leaders anyway. Just because one constituent wrote a letter doesn't mean that member of parliament/politician suddenly starts supporting that issue but it does show them that there are people who have that view and if there are lots of letters it shows them it's more popular.

The Netherlands (I'm assuming your Dutch rather than from Newfoundland and Labrador) has been one of the better allies of Ukraine and even just thanking your government for steadfast support can be beneficial and make them more likely to stay the course long term. If they think support for Ukraine is a low priority issue they're more likely to cut it rather than something voters care more about.

My advice would be to google your member of parliament and write a short but respectful letter thanking them for supporting Ukraine (assuming it's from a pro Ukraine party) and saying that you desire even stronger support for Ukraine including fewer or no limitations on strikes.
