    and saying that Ukrainians should just give up.

    I’ll try to argue in good faith and ask you - what evidence (other than this post, apparently it doesn’t convince you) would be needed for you to admit that we don’t want to fight, and it’s Zelensky’s regime (with West’s support) that forces us to (and effectively genocides us)?

    How about all the Russians getting forced in to a war just to die?

    It’s also bad. Russia is not turned into a mass prison which people can’t leave and where they are kidnapped on the streets though, Ukraine is.
    A man in Russia can leave at any moment.
    A man in Ukraine is automatically a prisoner, he can only escape.

    Where is the criticism of Putin and his regime and the atrocities that he commits?

    Here it is: I condemn Putin for the atrocities he commits. I regularly hear from my friends and family, who are still in Ukraine, about Russian rockets/drones flying over them.


    You see, I’ve tried to argue in good faith with you, despite you supporting Zelensky’s fascist regime that tries to kill me and people I know. Now, can you do the same? :)

      It’s horrible that Ukrainians and Russians are getting forced in to a war that neither wanted to participate in. I hate wars and I would have preferred to see everyone live in peace. But reality is not like that.

      Putin is trying to take your homeland and you’re doing nothing to prevent it. You’re not even in your own country… I find it pretty rich that condemn Putin and his actions while also being okey with it happening as long as no one has to fight for Ukraine.

      Who should fight for their freedom if not the people that live there? I would defend my homeland til I die if it meant my country would remain a democracy and be free dictators and fascists.

        You didn’t answer my question “what evidence (…) would be needed for you to admit that we don’t want to fight, and it’s Zelensky’s regime (…) that forces us to (…)” :(

        Putin is trying to take your homeland and you’re doing nothing to prevent it.

        What do you mean “take”?
        What prevents me from living on the land Putin has taken?
        Or let’s be more exact - what prevents people in Crimea, Melitopol and other cities/regions taken by Putin to continue living there?
        Or maybe you want to say that the life there is worse? Then please define in what way. Is it being able to freely move? Is it not being a subject to mass kidnappings? Is it being able to speak your mother tongue without being discriminated for it (or worse…)? Is it being able to form political parties? Is it being able to vote for your president (even if you consider the elections rigged)?

        You’re not even in your own country…

        I cannot return there, until Zelensky’s regime is done. If I go there - I won’t be able to come back. I’ll be imprisoned like the rest of the country. I’ll be sooner or later kidnapped and sent to die.

        Who should fight for their freedom if not the people that live there?

        Fighting for freedom is fighting against Zelensky’s regime, he is the one taking the freedom away. And it’s extremely hard to fight him, as long as he has western support.
