Alex Len, an NBA player and reserve center for the Los Angeles Lakers, shares a poignant perspective on the ongoing war in Ukraine. As one of the league’s only Ukrainian athletes, Len's concerns highlight the diminishing public support for Ukraine's fight against Russia. He hopes that the recent discussions among political leaders in the U.S. could lead to a resolution, emphasizing the desperate need for safety and normalcy for his family and friends back home. Len, alongside fellow Ukrainian player Svi Mykhailiuk, founded the Hoop For Ukraine Fund to aid those impacted by the conflict, reflecting on the personal losses he has endured due to the war. He stresses that simply achieving a ceasefire isn't enough; Ukraine requires robust security guarantees to ensure lasting peace, as past ceasefires have often been broken. Len urges the international community to support Ukraine's fight for democracy, highlighting the broader implications if the war remains unresolved.
