Destroy the empire ambitions forever. Dismantle all colonies, break it up. Like british, french etc empires. Hopefully this breaks the mindset of invading its neighbors.
So they elect another bloodthirsty psychopath? Of course free peoples of former russia will have their elections, if they manage to organize them, in their 100 independent post-russian republics.
to start with, mrs navalny has no remorse about all of russian imperialist projects. oh her poor, blameless russian people who would only kill ukrainians for money.
It is true. Navalny, as many "russian opposition" people are anti-war and compassionate toward Ukraine, but they fundamentally don't understand.. no, they actively refuse to understand what this war is all about. They still see Ukrainians as "little brothers". Their worldview is still imperialistic
Maybe? And then in five, ten years they MAYBE elect some relatively sane person again, and not some girkin or prigozhin type, leaving them with a working economy and rebuilt army without corruption, so they can start again?
No, that's not the risk we are willing to take here in Ukraine. We don't believe russian society can just suddenly evolve from complete savagery to shining democracy on the hill in an instant.
I'm pretty sure she would be better, come on, let's be reasonable here, being better than a genocidal psychopath is not a high bar. I fear that russians would actually manage to fix their economy and army, with the help of people like Navalny and THEN elect another nazi.
I understand your concern, but this is exactly what were Nazis saying about Jews. Yes, Russians are brainwashed. Unlearning process will be painful and may take a few generations, but the world does not need more genocides.
Not sure what should happen to Russia, but the thing needed to prevent Russia from starting wars does exist already: NATO. Whether the US are part of it or not, Russia won’t dare to attack a NATO country, especially now that they have seen that they can’t even handle Ukraine.
Undermine Russian society the way they undermine civilized ones. Fake news, sabotage, economic isolation, support for separatist groups, stoking racial and religious hatred until that cursed country collapses and is absorbed by others.

Crash the Empire
Also Ukraine needs nukes.
It's in their DNA to do harm.
I meant like it's cheaper to build the wall than do this genocide.
Accountability for war crimes.
For starters
Decolonization
