Ukrainians are giving their lives so that their loved ones can live and stay free from Russia.

How much does your life cost to you? And life of your spouse, child, friend, neighbor, acquaintance someone from your country and someone from abroad? Seriously, can you answer this question?

I am sure you won’t sell yourself and the people you love for any money (if you are ok mentally). This is totally out of scope. I mean, if it’s just for money, not for helping someone you love with that money. But how about the people you do not know personally? There is a science fiction story where a person is given a huge amount of money when a random person dies. I may put this different way: how much are you ready to give not to let a random person get killed?

Well, as I look at some politicians, it appears that my life is very cheap for some people in EU/USA. To give you a better idea: the amount of help given monthly to Ukraine is somewhere 15 EUR/USD per capita in the Western world. EU is more about finances, US supplies most of the weapons. Yes, 15 USD that’s close to Netflix subscription. In US, each 12 of 15 dollars are given to weapon producers, so money are in fact given to fellow Americans who work in the industry (to produce the new weapons instead of the old one given to Ukraine which could cost money to decommission), and the real money given to Ukraine as credit is 3 USD per person monthly. A cup of coffee. Think about this when you say we are asking too much.

And when Congress was delaying the help for 7 months, our troops had to fight without enough ammo, and we lost thousands of the bravest people, just because someone played political games. And Ukrainians are giving their lives not for money and petty distinctions, they are doing so to let their loved ones live and to stay free from Russia.

And when I hear “we are tired of giving money”, I want to grab this person, and push his face into the soil of a freshly dug grave, and then, take him by hand and look into the eyes of mothers, wives, and children that lost their men forever. Because I am curious if he/she will still mumble about money…

We have dozens of thousands of graves. Russia killed them. I see people without limbs on the streets. Russia did it. But they did it because the world is “afraid of escalation” and not giving us enough weapons to win, but just giving some to stay alive. Because some people are either ignorant or just do not consider us worth that Netflix subscription.

And Russia will kill more if you continue this way. And if you choose to “stop the war” by cutting help, millions may die as Russia won’t stop. This is what I am talking about for 2.5 years, get this at last…

Another post from Volodymyr:

North Korea was created by Russia. Hamas and Palestinian identity were created with Russian assistance. And both are still supported by Russia. These are the plain facts. You can’t fight the puppets and cooperate with their master, if you want real result.

OK, let me give you more info. The founder of Kim dynasty, Kim Il Sung, was essentially created from zero by Soviet Union. Even his command of Korean language was marginal at best; he only had eight years of formal education, all of it in Chinese. His son, Kim Jong Il, was born in USSR and was named Yuri Kim at birth. So was absolutely Russia-made puppet state.

Now, about Palestine. Before 1950, this word had totally different meaning, it did not mean a Arab nation of West Bank and Gaza. Even Arabian leaders of those days did not consider them as some separate nation (e.g. king Hussein I of Jordan said “The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan.”) But in 1960ties, Soviet Union was heavily recruiting spies from those territories and sending weapons there, also spreading information emphasizing on a separate identity of Palestine that became reality now. Do you know that the current president of Palestine, Mahmood Abbas, speaks Russian? Because he is an alumnus of Moskow University and a KGB agent for a long time.

Now, North Korea supplies weapons and even troops to Russia, Hamas is using Russian and North Korean weapons and welcomed in Moscow as dear guests. You don’t need to be a genius to see they all belong to the same pack.

Also, in Syria, Bashar al-Assad would be gone in 2014 if Russia did not support him. In Belarus, Lukashenko would be gone in 2020 if Putin did not help him. There were uprisings in Kazakhstan, but Russian troops came there. The coups in Africa are backed by Russia. There are many ugly puppet mafia quasi-states created by Russia: Transnistria in Moldova, Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Georgia, DNR and LNR in Ukraine (and their propaganda is creating those new identities again). And there will be more if do not stop them doing it.

So, the overwind and the heart of evil sits in Russia, and you can’t win it by chopping his proxies, because it will keep creating problems in other places to keep you busy. It’s geopolitical cancer that keeps launching its metastases everywhere.

Yet some politicians manage to choose friendly talks with Russia while condemning or even fighting against Hamas, Iran, or N.Korea. You can’t play this game if you really want to win.

Comment from Yevgen S :

Only USA only in Afghanistan spent upwards of Trillion (yes, with T!) dollars fighting against terrorism. Total expenses of civilised nations are way higher with comparable result. Half of this amount given to Ukraine as military support would suffice to eradicate 95% of terrorism globally for good.

The math is so simple it’s painful 😖

And finally, a post from Volodymyr from one year ago:

List of Genocides committed by Russia/USSR in Ukraine:

Baturyn massacre, 1708. The fortress of Baturyn was the capital of Ukraine (Hetman Mazepa) at the time; up 15,000 civilians Baturyn were killed as ordered by Peter 1st, not even children were spared.

Holodomors (literally it means “to starve (someone) to death” or “to cause (someone) to starve.”). There were 3 of them:
1920—1922. About half a million Ukrainians starved to death.
1932—1933. Up to 10 million Ukrainians died because the crops were taken away
1946—1947. Up to a million dead.
Let me remind you that Ukraine possesses 30% of the most fertile soil of the world, natural famine is simply impossible here.

1936—1938: over 260000 Ukrainians were arrested, most of them were executed (my great-grandfather and 2 his brothers were among them). Notably, they killed almost all Ukrainian writers, poets, artist and scientist, all the bloom of our nation. We call it “Executed renaissance”.

In WW2, Ukrainians were part of Soviet army, and they were intentionally thrown upon Nazi fortifications. General Zhukov said “No need to arm and equip those Ukrainians. They are traitors anyway. The more of them die, the less we will have to throw to the concentration camps!”. My another great-grandfather perished in one of such penal battalions near Smolensk.

60-80ties: relatively softer period, but many Ukrainians spent decades in concentration camps for being ethnically conscious. Many were deported and assimilated.

I skipped many crimes with fewer victims (e.g. when Red Army took Kyiv in 1919).

And now, years 2022-2023. In Bucha, near Kyiv, they killed 700 civilians, you may google horrible photos if you want. In Izium, 451 bodies found in mass graves. In Mariupol, they killed from 20000 to 87000 civilians (hard to count). They bombed a theatre with children in the shelter. Over 100000 crimes of Russian army were documented in Ukraine, and so many more are unknown. Dozend of thousands of Ukrainian children ere kidnapped and being “re-educated” as Russians.

It’s only recently that the world has started recognizing Holodomor as genocide. How long will it take to recognize current crimes as genocide? They conform to all criteria of “genocide” definition. But UN expert “has not found the sign of genocide”, Pope says Russians they are the “proud heirs of Peter 1st”, UN General Secretary wants to negotiate with Russia about softening sanctions, many politicians have no guts to name it as it is and use elusive terms.

So, to summarize it. Russia is ruled by a criminal regime committing genocide in Ukraine and involving all Russians in this horrible crime. You cannot negotiate with such people and meet with them in the middle. It’s unacceptable. Please keep reminding it to everyone, especially to your political elite wherever you are living.
