(WXOW ABC) You may not think much about the City of Mabel, Minnesota–a town of just under 800 near the border with Iowa–but it's home to one business owner who's made a personal connection with a country in crisis.
Gary Steuart is owner and founder of Steuart Laboratories. In 1982, Steuart Laboratories started making natural healing products for animals. Later on, some of his clients noticed those products were working on people too.[…]

Gerber said the aid to soldiers may help, but without action from outside forces, the conflict will continue to be a drain on the country.
"So long as they have this armed conflict going on within it's borders, then there is not going to be any joining the European Union, not going to be any joining NATO, NATO is not going to want anything to do with Ukraine."
