It was a time of lawlessness, corruption was rampant. My family had seen enough. In 1996, my mom, dad and grandmother moved to South Florida, making me a first-generation American.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The politics of discussing my family\u2019s motherland is a rather interesting predicament. Anyone who was born in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union says they\u2019re Ukrainian, but what about the previous generations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back then, Ukraine wasn\u2019t considered its own country; Ukrainian was frowned upon so everyone spoke Russian.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, people around me were proud of their heritage. However, I never felt prideful or thought I had an identity beyond being American. As I got older, I found out why.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My mom&#8217;s side of the family was Jewish, and with antisemitism existing in the communist regime, she never had the chance to openly keep any of her practices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, my dad wasn\u2019t Jewish, but he was honest about his disdain for his family\u2019s homeland, which raised cruel individuals and was filled with corruption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both came to the United States fully embracing their new identity with pride.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My parents were very clear that they had no love for their former home, however, there was pride in the city they grew up in, Odessa, a port city just off the Black Sea. It\u2019s the same sort of pride you see from New Yorkers when they boast about the borough they\u2019re from.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, I\u2019m very grateful to be here and not in the current Ukraine-Russia war, but I feel as though I\u2019m missing something that many of my peers have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ukraine-Russia war began on Feb. 24, 2022, when Russia launched a large-scale <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">military invasion to take control of more Ukrainian territory and topple the nation\u2019s government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While my mom and dad don\u2019t share feelings of \u201cnational pride\u201d for their former home, it pains them to see it ravaged by war and so many lives lost on both sides\u2014people who are not so different from each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-lammy-uk-98d5d741bee9481ea4c2f49ea4f636e7\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is seeking more international support, including mineral partnerships with the U. S.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, there is skepticism revolving around the U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s suggestion about possible negotiations with Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, the conflict remains intense, and there\u2019s no clear resolution in sight even with ongoing military and diplomatic efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Soviet Union officially collapsed on Dec. 26, 1991.
