Ukrainian American Sophika Lashchyk-Tytla says she can’t understand why her brother plans to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump given his open hostility to continuing U.S. support for Ukraine.
Hours after unconvincing arguments with her brother, the Philadelphia native carried a kit of campaign information as she canvassed in the city’s suburbs with fellow Ukrainians who’ve rallied around Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Just ten days before the election, nearly a dozen went door-knocking in Montgomery County, where one of the country’s largest Ukrainian populations now has voter material available in Ukrainian for the first time. The county includes non-voting recent emigres from President Joe Biden’s post-full-scale invasion Uniting for Ukraine parole program and thousands more with U.S. citizenship who arrived in the 1990s.

“I feel like I’m trying to save Ukraine and our country and I can’t listen to your (Trump) stuff,” Lashchyk-Tytla told her brother as she departed for a weekend of rallying Ukrainian support for Harris.
I saw someone outside the US comment on this, and I don’t think people outside the US (and apparently many US voters) are aware just how anti Ukraine Trump will be.
Common sense would say “he’s gonna be hawkish, right?” They don’t know about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump–Ukraine_scandal
It was wild re-reading all that back when Russia launched its “special military operation”. One of the last things Trump did in office was attempt to extort and/or weaken the country Putin was gearing up to invade again
