The CK Daily – Prayers for Ukraine
I woke up this morning to write this email and had several things on my mind to write about but I just couldn’t pull away from the atrocity that is taking place right now in Ukraine. With the Russian tanks and troops crossing the border inspiring a full-scale attack on the country with cities destroyed and people killed, I believe we have entered a whole new geopolitical landscape that we have not seen the likes of in a long time. This just “feels” different than what we have seen by countries in the more recent past. It is kinda surreal.
We will have to watch to see how this plays out and what kind of ripple effects this has throughout the world and the world’s economy, but in the meantime, we need to keep the people of Ukraine in our thoughts and prayers.
I hope you have a great Thursday.
