Even more so because they’re likely going into areas that are indoctrinated daily with “news” that relentlessly messages why are we helping Ukraine with their democracy & why are we sending them $.

I was thinking exactly this. I hope the people they help actually SEE them and I hope in SEEING them it softens their hard hearts.

Some, maybe, but my gut says the main response would be "well they're one of the good ones."
