The most depressing thing for me from the last 3 years is that some people seem angry at Ukrainians for wanting to fight for their whole country and their freedom.

There's a critique a friend of mine made that this willingness to fight is not as common as it seems by looking at the battlefiled. After all, many Ukranians have fleed the country or died trying, if Ukraine relied only on volunteers it'd not have the army it has
I'm not saying Ukraine should rely on Russians (wtf), but that if only those willing to fight were in the army, the manpower issues would probably be even worse. It's cool that Ukrainians fight to defend themselves, less so that the state forces those unwilling to sacrifice their lives. 1/2
Iirc the point was that a resistance based on volunteers would be morally more acceptable than one based on forced conscription. I tend to agree tho I don't know if I'd want one: that would lower even more UKR chances of success, which is also bad. Anyway deep respect for those willing to fight. 2/2
I think that anyone who lives in a country and loves that country and their family there should defend that country against aggressors. Most Ukrainians agree.
Yes, they have the unforgivable temerity to want security in which to thrive on their own terms. Even on occasion some of those claiming to be their supporters (and raking in the political capital) were ‘offended’ e.g. ‘we’re not Amazon’
So many people over the world are eager to bend their knees and stand with their hat in their hands, greeting the overlords!
The Ukrainians are the showing the world what it means to be free, and they pay dearliy for it...true Heroes!
Slava Ukraini!!
Not here, they have defeated and blunted a supposed super-power with one hand tied behind their backs by the Western powers. A feat of arms that deserves to live in history.
The shame is on our side.
Because a average Western European thinks that all the Eastern European countries are anyway russian, and they can’t understand why they have to give up their comfort and pay more for electricity just because some soviets are fighting each other?
The ones that really bug me are when people criticizing Zelensky for requesting/taking so much aid and it's like.... What kind of leader wouldn't do that? "Oh yes, I will politely decline your offer of aid while my country is invaded and my people fight and die".
Depressing fear for Western nations is if there is a conflagration, selfishness, obesity and lack of social media influence will restrict the ability to fight severely
This is our war too and yet we cowardly let 🇺🇦 fight it alone 🤯
#RussiaIsATerroristState committing a full-scale genocide in plain sight.
It is our duty towards Humanity to help 🇺🇦 win the war.
Whatever victory takes, right now 🔥

There are two goals. First is Russia mustn't win. That goal can be regarded as achieved. Whatever happens 2025 Russia won't be able to make its special operation a meaningful strategic success. For a lot of people and governments that should suffice. The second goal is Ukraine must win. I think by
Now it's become obvious that no western government supported that goal at any point. Most avoided that promise and no country acted accordingly. To me the fear of an unstable Russia maybe descending into civil war best explains the actions or lack thereof by the US and the big EU states.

It disgusts me.
their lack of Kinderstube (childhood education)
& lack of capability to catching up this omitted Kinderstube, belated, retroactively
Hungary an Germany: we did it and it worked very well. 😏
The difference is, they started the war an lost. And btw, one of them started an other war, and the other joined the other - again. 🤷♂️

Says a lot about the selfishness of some humans.
Should be ashamed.
A people fighting for its existence.
