I’m from Ukraine. You can find a little bit more info about that in my other comments - but TLDR is that thankfully I have left it before the war started, some of my family managed to escape it (illegally of course, going through the occupied territories and then through Russia, it’s a mass prison now for most of the men there), but some are still trapped and trying to not get caught by the government, because if they do (and don’t have enough money for a bribe), they will be sent to the front lines and probably die.
I don’t see any fascist comments in your profile
Cool, thanks, glad to see someone here with whom it’s possible to have a conversation without getting called a fascist :)
but you do seem extremely pissed off that Ukraine is defending itself from Russia.
I am not pissed about Ukraine defending itself from Russia. I absolutely support the right of everyone, both people and nations, to defend themselves against an invader! I also never said that Russia are the good guys (and yet, I’m getting labeled Russian propagandist/bot as well, just saying that Russia invaded Ukraine and there is a war is a punishable offense in Russia for which I’d be sitting in jail 🤷).
The problem is, it’s not “Ukraine defending itself from Russia”.
There is this propaganda from Zelensky’s regime that we are all volunteering to defend our country against “orcs”, and he is the hero that leading us into this battle. This is as far from the truth as it gets. We want peace, which he doesn’t even try to achieve (and why would he? War is what allows him to stay in power and steal millions, or likely billions of dollars). His regime needs to resort to kidnapping people on the streets and sending them to the front-lines to die. Some are refusing this and are getting sent to prisons where they are tortured. Some are trying to escape by the mountains/rivers and are dying while trying to do so. So yeah, what I’m pissed about is that the current government, supported by the west, may kill my family or my friends any day now, just like they already killed tens/hundreds of thousands already.
If it was like Zelensky’s propaganda is saying where we are defending our country, and our country was not turned into a mass-prison, I’d be sending donates to AFU every freaking month. But in this reality, any support for the current government of my country is equivalent to supporting my family/friends getting killed, and as you can imagine I am not going to do that, and trying to discourage everybody else from doing so.
