Just taking a pulse: does anyone care what’s happening in Ukraine? I’ve got family in the region and am completely wrapped up in the coverage, but I just don’t know how many Americans/others are paying attention.

Yes basic Google trends

I’m definitely paying attention.

It’s been hard for me to think of anything else. I hope your family is well. I can’t imagine what you must be feeling.

We care, but it’s hard when all you feel is sorrow. Praying your family is okay

The first thing I do when I wake up is look for any updates. It’s definitely the top thing on my mind.

First thing I do after waking up every day is check on Zelensky and Ukraine. I’m Latvian-American so it also worries me that Putin will go after the Baltic states next. I still have family in Latvia so I also regularly get reports from them about how tense it is there.

Yes, I’m on edge watching for updates and hoping for best.
