"The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine retells an old story of conquest and control
bringing destruction and death. With missiles falling onto cities, thousands
already dead, and over two million refugees, mainly women and children, fleeing,
we are witnessing a way of life, of freedom, being lost. As these refugees join
the millions worldwide displaced by conflict and persecution, this war is
bringing the added threat of nuclear weapons and mass destructioneven as
ordinary Ukrainians take up arms and build barricades to defend their
country.
So many lives shattered, dreams destroyed, darkness spreading. What is this
world into which we have stumbled?"
In a time of growing ecological and humanitarian crises, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee
bears witness to the darkness of the dying myth we are stranded in.
