Man , you have to realize that you are living with your neighbours . If russia forms an organization like Nato against the USA and takes mexico and Canada in it and deployes all its weapons on US borders , US will not tolerate and start attacking it's neighbours . The same way russia cannot tolerate Ukraine joining Nato as it would be an direct invitation for the US and the west to deploy ballistic missiles , nuclear weapons directly on russian borders . Please realize that you are living with your neighbours , so you also have to keep their interests in mind before framing policies . And the west that promised to always help you did not even send a single troop to fight . I urge Ukraine govt and Nato to just give a written agreement to russia that Ukraine will not join Nato and stop this war please , innocent people are dying
The US and the European countries after implementing the economic sanctions on russia , "increased" their oil and gas imports from Russia by "50 %" . Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap for the West
So what if Russia is their neighbor? You obviously don't know what independence mean. Ukraine officially declared independence when the Soviet Union fell, the choice of whether to join NATO just be up to the Ukrainian people, not some politician from another country. Putin does not get to dictate what the Ukrainians do. Putin is doing this mainly to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO,but to also forcefully install a pro-Russian government whether or not its people like it. And let me remind you that the US,UK and Russia signed a denuclearization treaty with Ukraine, that Ukraine would dismantle its Soviet-era nuclear weapons on the condition that the US,UK and Russia would always respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and would never invade Ukraine. Look who's the first country to break it. You need to respect that the Ukrainian people decided to join the EU and the western alliance over Russia. They must have their reasons, and shouldn't succumb to any foreign pressure, even if it's from the biggest country. Don't think just because Putin have started a war we have to bow down to his every demand, especially if Putin isn't the president of Ukraine. Their ancestors fought hard for independence, their own freedom and choice, free from Soviet rule, and now Putin is trying to take that away because of his insecurity.
How would you like the country you're living in being handed back to it's European colonial rulers ,hmm?
"we, Ukrainians, would rather die than leave all this without consequences!" I hope you're writing this from a trench, otherwise this is the biggest cynical shit I've ever heard. People want to live, many aren't ready to exchange their lives in order not"to bend under Russia?". Ask your fellow citizens who died at the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for "betrayal", if they were ready to exchange their lives for "freedom", oh yes, you can't because they DIE.
