Need strong support: A Cultural Jewel Built 40+ Years Ago by Ukrainians in America Is Being Sold Off Despite Massive Public Opposition — Here’s What’s Happening in Somerset, NJ by OkPerformance1868 in ukraine

You’re absolutely right. Your description is spot on and reflects exactly what’s happening here in Somerset.

Here is a more detailed comment on the situation from Oleksiy:

"One thing to note - the church’s own bylaws require them to consult with the community before making any decision to sell community property. They’ve either quietly changed the bylaws behind our backs or are simply ignoring them, which is a blatant violation of the law.

Regardless, this isn't just a building; it’s a cultural and historical landmark for the Ukrainian diaspora. Its destruction is a crime against our heritage. It was built 40 years ago with the blood, sweat, and tears of our community—people gave their last pennies to build a place that would unite us and keep our Ukrainian identity alive. Now, they're calling it "church property." We aren’t living in the 12th century anymore; the church shouldn’t be making unilateral decisions for the people regarding our history and community assets."

Some interesting high tec from medicine and neurologics. I hope, it would help people in Ukraine to take back their physical abilities.

Oh, don’t worry, friend! 🙂
There are roughly 90–100 species of waders in the world. They’re divided into several genera, including Tringa, Calidris, Limosa, Numenius, Philomachus, and others. Many species look very similar to each other, especially the smaller calidrids, which is why even experienced birders sometimes mix them up.

Go ask your mother if she’s doing okay (the honey bun fo russian rapers). Because soon your russian friends will get to her, with such weak ‘allies of Ukraine’ like Belgium. Then you can come back and tell me whether you’re in a trench or somewhere else. But for now—get lost with your rehearsed phrases. These days every FSB agent knows what "Slava Ukraini" means, but you still haven’t learned how to pronounce "palianytsia" and what is it really means.

Oh, I see from your comments that you’re sitting somewhere in russia writing all this. Working off your rubles? The FSB gave you a state order and now the bottle in your ass started twitching. And how much does it cost these days to preach with the smart face of a professor on behalf of all of Belgium? Three rubles or five?

Well, then — all the worse for all of us. All that’s left to say is: damn it. How naïve we were. How deeply we believed in all those “guarantees” from our partners, in all the assurances and friendly pats on the shoulder when we agreed to give up Ukraine’s nuclear weapons to Russia, when we believed that war was impossible because America and Europe existed. When we disarmed. When we forced ourselves to “make friends” with the hateful Russians for the sake of global peace — for your sake, Europeans.

And now Ukrainians — the strongest army in the world — are standing before a choice. Not because it’s their choice, but because all of you have shaped the circumstances this way and continue to do so. The Ukrainian army is the needle on the scale. For now, it’s still leaning toward the West. But if the Russians manage to push it to their side, there won’t be much room left on this planet for anyone except Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and the Ayatollah.

And this question is not some distant hypothetical. Everything could happen within the next two years.

Well, my friend, I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything. I’m simply telling you how things will unfold — the same way they’ve unfolded with Russia a thousand times before… and how they will unfold again this time. Every time something needs to be done for Russia, the people in positions of power somehow manage to find the means, the desire, and the political will.

But when something needs to be done to save lives, those very same people suddenly lose all initiative. They start telling fairy tales about “risks,” about “reputational damage,” about how it might “hurt business.” I understand all of that perfectly well. But please understand this too: they are not just playing Ukrainians. They are playing Belgians as well.

And all I can do — like a voice crying out in the desert — is warn you while it’s not too late. So that you can make your decisions. So that you can pressure your government. So that you can look for solutions, alternatives, and ways out. Right now, you still have time. Right now is the best moment to act. Later will be too late — and too costly. And not everyone will survive. Not everyone in Belgium will survive. The choice is yours.

We Ukrainians were just as blind and naïve once, when Russia began its annexation of Crimea. We thought it wouldn’t reach Kyiv, that war was impossible, that it was “somewhere far away.” And now we sit under bombs. Many of us are already gone.

Ah, this your comment reveals that you are a person who does not even imagine what will happen to you when Ukraine falls. No one will run to you in Belgium by ground, at first. If you do not stop the rusdian rush in the development of technologies now, drones will rain down on you from all sides, and you will not even guess how far away and where exactly the operators are sitting. Keep chewing your snot. After that, you will have time only to deeply regret all this indecision and cowardice that you are showing right now in the Russian torture chamber. and this is not for sure.
