Eastern Europe’s Margaret Thatcher speaks out on the war in Ukraine - WPWe see in the events in Ukraine our own history unfolding — history that our grandmothers and grandfathers actually suffered. Therefore, it is our duty to spare the people of Ukraine from those atrocities that our own people went through. My own mother was deported to Siberia when she was 6 months old.My grandmother, great-grandmother and my mother were sent to Siberia, and my grandfather was sent to a prison camp. On our side of the Iron Curtain, we had mass deportations, killings, and our culture and language were suppressed. So even if there is some kind of an agreement, without accountability it doesn’t mean that the human suffering will stop.
