This is one of the best war letters ever written, by a Ukrainian, to all those that would betray us all in their cowardice and treachery.
“So here is the message to those New York Times writers and others who fear what happens if Russia loses — you should also fear what happens if Ukraine loses. It will not bring the peace and stability you hope for. Quite the opposite.”
💛💙😢 “In the intervening period, however, it may very well cancel the futures of those who die daily and will keep dying in this environment of “controlled” inhumanity. Where human rights exist, but don’t work. Where the ideas of peace and freedom are applauded by the leaders of the great democracies, but not enough is done to bring them closer.”
“On the day that you read this, the lives of Ukrainian men and women will end through the actions of a bloody regime. Because keeping them alive might have risked the future of a dictator.”
There are too many people in the West (who despite appearances to the contrary) just wish that the Ukrainian ‘problem’ will just disappear and that we can return to the old balance of power between the West and russia.
Even if Russia hangs on to occupied territories they will have created their own little Northern Ireland with decades of Troubles to ensue.
Yeah, it’s one thing a lot of westerners fail to understand. If Ukraine falls, it will be your sons fathers and brothers dying 5 years later, not peace.
Ukraine will win. Ukraine has all the reasons to fight. Russian has none. that is why Vietnam won, the afghans won. time is on UA side. Plus the fact that contrary to Vietnam and Afghanistan UA is winning on the battlefield as well.
It is one of those insidious Russian psyops you see
“What if Russia loses! Putins replacement might be worse!”
Ukraine is already the badass of Europe. We’d better keep them on our side. One Ukrainian is worth 500 ruzzians.
I absolutely hate that it’s even a question.
I have never been more proud of the UK than when we supported Ukraine at the outset of war, and never more ashamed of the West than seeing Elon Musk shilling Russian propaganda by promoting Tucker Carleson’s genocidal lies.
I can’t imagine what Ukraine would turn into if they lost. I don’t think Ukrainians would accept Russian rule and the country would turn into something like it was in Iraq during the insurgency.
Well written article.
We learned long ago that appeasing tyrants does not bring “peace in our time” but rather it encourages the tyrants to spread their tyranny around.
A pity so many people with so much power have so little knowledge of history that they threaten to make us all relive it!
