    It’s Ukraines fight. It’s up to Ukraine to decide to forfeit the fight or to keep fighting.

    It was laughably corrupt before the war, and since it’s literally suspended elections. It’s a war between Russia and Ukraine’s ruling classes, the people only pay the price.

    Russia should not have invaded Ukraine in the first place.

    Sure, but Russia’s government doesn’t pretend to represent you or me. The US government does. We could have also avoided this by not doing a coup in Ukraine and putting a hostile government right on Russia’s border.

      The US had nothing to do with Zelenski getting into power in Ukraine. That is a lie from the Kremlin. Thanks for taking the mask off Russian Shill

        cmon do you really believe that the US had nothing to do with the 2014 color revolution or the government that formed after? I mean you can just google news articles from the time, even western news sources were reporting on how the US and EU were involved in the creation and makeup of the new government.

        This was before Zelenski won on a platform of peace, and then failed to get the right-wing militias under control.

          Are we really gonna sit here and act like Russia doesn’t do the same governmental meddling in other countries? This is really just global politics 101, and it wasn’t worth invading a country over.

      Ukraine didn’t invade Russia. Some countries have hostile borders, this isn’t uncommon. Invasions to take over the government isn’t the solution, but Russia has made the bed that they’re gonna lay in. Allowing Russia to take Ukraine sets a dangerous precedence.
