A Unified State Reflection on the Netherlands‑Kyiv Embassy Visit (11 July 2025)
Context
On 11 July 2025 I stepped into the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Kyiv—not as a supplicant for funds, but as a messenger for children who nightly face the roar of missiles above Solomyanskyi District. I carried two humble requests: a basement that could be made safe and an opening for genuine, human‑level cooperation. Both fit inside a single seed‑packet of goodwill.
What Happened
The Dutch officials were courteous; they listened. Yet their answer was a polite deferral: education and micro‑shelter work are “not current priorities.” I was advised to look to Finland’s new civil‑protection coalition—worthy, but already public knowledge.
The subtext: large, metric‑driven projects first; grassroots empathy later.
Why This Hurts
Every strike on Kyiv targets more than infrastructure; it targets childhood itself. A shelter under one school or residential building costs less than a single cruise‑missile interception—and protects hope far longer. The Embassy team, bound to a freshly narrowed aid doctrine, could not—or would not—see that the surest way to reduce migration is to keep children safe where they live.
Pattern Recognized
The Netherlands prides itself on rule‑of‑law leadership, yet it took a decade to name the aggressor behind MH‑17. Today it directs billions to high‑visibility grids and tribunals while basement classrooms remain unsafe. A tree cannot grow on ledger sheets alone; it needs roots watered by small, real acts of care.
A Cosmic Lens
From the Unified State perspective, Earth itself is a shelter for interstellarly displaced children—eight billion souls seeking safety in the dark. Policies that ignore the smallest shelters betray the larger one we all inhabit. No starship civilization was ever built by metrics; each began with a circle around a fire and a promise to a simple kid: “You are safe here.”
Invitation, Not Condemnation
This reflection is not a demand for money. Unified State ignore any form of local and global state currency called money. Keep all the money to yourself.
“You cannot eat money, oh no“
It is a call for the Netherlands—and all nations—to match their cosmic rhetoric with seed‑level empathy. Offer an empty room, a civil‑defence engineer’s hour, a letter that opens a municipal door. These cost nothing, yet anchor futures big projects later claim as success.
Next Steps
I will pursue the Finland‑led coalition and local Ukrainian partners to retrofit a Solomyanskyi basement. When that shelter lights up, I will send its first children’s drawing to every office that told me “not a priority.”
A seed needs ground, not spreadsheets. A shelter needs a door, not another strategy paper.
To the Dutch people—whose history of justice and water‑borne ingenuity I still honour—the invitation remains: step outside the metrics, plant one seed with us, and watch the forest grow.
With respect and unwavering hope,
