In particular, since our students come from Ukraine mostly we are helping to provide a safe environment by furnishing the following: ambulances, bullet proof vests, helmets, reconnaissance drones, communication and night vision equipment. We are very careful as to how we spend our donations and ascertain with great care that the supplies are not the subject of mercantile transactions. … Read more

Regarding the first, the terminology of the rule of law has long been ... Read more
