Putin Invaded Ukraine But United The Whole World, Here Are 47 Of The Most Important Things That Have Been Done So Far
On 24th February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. In response to this unprovoked and unjustified war, countries across the world are condemning the attack and rushing to aid Ukraine and its people. The Western world and its allies have stepped up to assist this brave nation by providing military equipment and humanitarian assistance.
"Here in Ukraine, we will be repeating this over and over again: Russia’s war isn’t only about our country. This is about all of us. Because of Russian hybrid warfare, everyone who values freedom, democracy, and justice is a potential target," Nataliia Steblyna wrote in the Kyiv Independent, saying that we all should stand together and that even the smallest steps may be significant.
Inspired and touched by defenders fighting on the streets and outskirts of attacked cities, people are uniting like never before. From protests to cyberattacks to canceled sports and cultural events, thousands continue to help the Ukrainian government and civilians in any way they can.

As the world watches the 6th day of Ukraine fighting Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the European Parliament in an emotional message. The country has shown time and again that it is an equal member of Europe, and he expressed his belief that Ukraine deserves to be a part of the EU.
"I believe that we, today, we're giving lives for the desire to be equal, as much as you are. We are giving away our best people," he said. "Nobody is going to break us. We are strong. We are Ukrainian."
"We have proven our strengths. We have proven that as a minimum we are exactly the same as you are," Zelenskyy added. "Prove that you are with us. Do prove that you will not let us go. Do prove that you indeed are Europeans."

EU Relaxes Entry Paperwork For Pets Travelling With Ukrainian Refugees
The tremendous courage of the President and citizens of Ukraine have inspired people, governments, and companies worldwide. There has been a massive outpour of support, with people mobilizing on social media, calling out false information, and getting together to aid Ukrainian civilians in the most meaningful ways.
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion, more than half a million civilians have fled Ukraine. The EU estimates that up to four million people may try to leave the country and has relaxed its rules on refugees, saying that the member states will welcome them with "open arms".
BBC states that refugees are crossing the borders to neighboring countries to the west — Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Moldova. Poland has so far taken in over 280K refugees and expects a further 50K to arrive every day. "Countries used to have time limits on how long refugees could spend in reception centers, but most are saying they are likely to waive them and that Ukrainians can stay in them for as long as they need to."
"This Is How Poland Is Welcoming Refugees From Ukraine At Train Stations And They Spent Whole Night There Too - With Food, Water, Clothes, Cars, Accommodations, Medical And Psychological Help. It’s Not Government Funded- These Are People Spending Own Money And Time"

Governments also made essential and unprecedented decisions to assist Ukraine in its fight for freedom. From gathering resources to provide all possible help to agreeing on sanctions that are already weakening the Russian economy, even Switzerland has abandoned its historic neutral position on global wars to support Ukraine.
"Never since the second world war has the rights of one country been so violated by another. You cannot stand aside. To play into the hands of an aggressor is not neutral," the Swiss president, Ignazio Cassis, said. Switzerland stands in solidarity with Ukraine and hopes that sanctions will encourage the Kremlin to rethink its actions.

I would laugh, if it wasnt so depressing. What is happening in Palestine is now acceptable, whereas this is not? How can one be condemned and the other not? Why are the people of Palestine not supported in this manner when defending themselves, their lives and their property against attacks? Humanity is lacking in the world severely.
Other neutral countries such as Finland, Sweden, Austria, Ireland, and the Vatican also condemned the Russian war on Ukraine. Finland and Sweden, which are not part of NATO, announced they will send military aid to support the troops resisting an invasion by Russia.
"It’s the rebirth of a new Europe," Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News. "It’s a historic shift. I think this will have major consequences moving forward for the future of Europe, for the future of the transatlantic alliance, for the future of NATO — just when all of those things were fraying."

Hackers from around the world joined the fight too by disrupting Russia’s digital infrastructure. The Independent reports that hacking groups such as Anonymous and the Cyber Partisans "have claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on Russia’s banks, state broadcaster RT, and a Belarusian rail network reportedly used to move troops from Russia to Ukraine."
"DDoS alone will not bring down a regime", one German Anonymous splinter group said, but "Putin, who is using hacker squads and troll armies against Western democracies, is getting a sip of his own bitter medicine". Their goal is to obtain information and "keep the Russian IT apparatus busy" so that Putin's hacker troops "cannot do anything in Ukraine or the West".

"FIFA and UEFA have today decided together that all Russian teams, whether national representative teams or club teams, shall be suspended from participation in both FIFA and UEFA competitions until further notice," the two organizations said in a joint statement.

Plus, the European Broadcasting Union confirmed that Russia won’t be participating in this year's Eurovision Song Contest because a Russian entry would "bring the competition into disrepute". The lead singer of Ukrainian folk rap group Kalush Orchestra (who are representing their country this year), Oleh Psiuk, told Sky News that their song has become an "anthem for Ukraine".
"This song which we have created [Stefania], it's the anthem for Ukraine and everybody is singing it," he said. "I think that the aggressor country must be banned from everywhere, from all the possible parts of the economy and politics because the people from their country don't realize that their country is aggressive and the aggressor for all the world, not only for Ukraine."

The people of Ukraine will find their thoughts and prayers very useful /s. Given that these people are mostly millionaires, you'd think public donations to support at least the civilians would help.
I know it is not too much, but my husband, who is now in Serbia (work related) was driving yeterday for an hour to find petrol station, which is not supplied by Gazprom.
It is sad, but I think it is partially true. Aleksandr Vučić is told to be a supporter of Putin. But my husband told me, that even in serbian news, they are talking about war, not about "peacemaking operation". So atleast something
Economic sanctions can be more effective than bombs, because if Russia's economy goes kablooey then Putin can't buy more weapons or pay the soldiers.
Please do this for every country that has been attacked. For Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq. Do not pick and choose when and where it is acceptable. Every life is equal.
I came here to write exactly the same. World is in an almost constant fight, so why haven't we all united way earlier?
Load More Replies...Same reason we dont care if someone we dont know dies in another side of the country but when our neighbor does we do, it hits closer.. sad but true.
You’re right in one way. However, your analogy doesn’t ring everywhere. The USA, Canada, Taiwan, are they anymore Ukraine’s neighbors than they are Palestine’s? And one person, is different from 10s of 1000s of people.
All lives DO matter. If you have a problem with that then YOU are the problem.
I think he/she meant that when someone says “black lives matter”, there are those who keep countering it saying “all lives matter”. Now of course, as you said, all lives 100% DO matter, but saying that in a fragile situation could cause s stirrup, because it’ll sound insensitive if not preceded by “black lives matter”, as the problem at hand is the large number of incessant black deaths, and compared to black and colored deaths, other deaths are much lesser (which does not mean they don’t matter, but rather to focus on the problem at hand). However, other countries facing war isn’t like that, because war is in fact their problem at hand, and it’s important to bring awareness to that.
No, we just “all war torn countries matter” the invasion of Ukraine. You see, there is a lot of hypocrisy here, where all nations act so strongly when it comes to the invasions of ukraine, but they choose to sideline Palestine when Palestine still faces worse to this day. We are part of a minority in this world, much like Anonymous, who help expose this deliberate hypocrisy. Got a problem with that? Sue me. Or you could just, I dunno, Be part of the cause; bring awareness about ALL war torn countries. Say that Ukraine matters, and so does Palestine, and Syria, and Yemen, and Iraq, and all the others that are under the same if not worse circumstances day in and day out. Don’t forget, these countries are not a minority compared to Ukraine, much unlike how non colored peoples deaths are a minority when compared to Black peoples, and colored peoples deaths.
If you really care about war torn countries, raise awareness in a situation where it doesn't minimize or come at the cost of awareness of a particular war torn country. It's exactly like "All Lives Matter." Because all lives do matter. But saying that is still inappropriate in context.
Look. I get you. You feel we are invalidating Ukraine’s suffering by bringing awareness to other countries that face the same (in present day, not ancient history). And as weird as it sounds, you are not wrong to feel that way in the spur of the moment. So let me apologize for not wording it better. I will explain properly now:
Ukraine is in turmoil. They are suffering terribly, mentally, physically, and emotionally. They deserve to be defended and protected. They are innocent people in the middle of a raging war. Men, women, children, pets, all have been killed. And for what? Putin’s greed. I 100% stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians. Why? Not because they are white or black, not because of the religion they follow, not because I already hated Russia anyway, not because of any such thing. I stand with ukraine because they deserve to, undeniably, be stood with. And I will continue to stand up for them, wish well for them, and do whatever I can to support them, until the war ends. Glory be to ukraine!
But. Just because ukraine is a newer issue compared to other ongoing issues, does not make it less important, or the other countries less important. And when you keep having a problem with me bringing up other countries who are, and have been suffering jUst like Ukraine, it’s you who is costing the awareness of not one, but several war torn countries. Just because most of the world does not address those countries, doesn’t mean I’m costing the awareness of ukraine by mentioning others who suffer as well. In fact, I’m bringing more awareness, because I mention Ukraine, and I mention the other countries.
Why do you discriminate between Ukraine and Palestine (Amnesty International has chronicled all the terrible things being done to them by Isreal), and Syria and so on? Why? When they are both suffering the same, at the same time? Why do you choose Ukraine over those countries when you can support both? Is it because hypocritic countries like the US choose to discriminate between them and only support Ukraine? I have nothing against Ukrainians. Only against the giant cowardly hypocrites who support one place because the crowd supports one place, and who don’t support one place because the crowd doesn’t support that place. All without making educated decisions and simply going with the flow, because we all know that’s easier.
I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Palestine. I stand with Syria. I stand with all the war torn countries. And I will continue to stand with all of them even if no one does. Including Ukraine.
Palestine is not a country, and you're being lied to and manipulated if you believe that area is under danger from anyone but its own "leaders".
Palestine is a country, whether you like it or not. And the only one being lied to and manipulated here, is YOU. The world’s most important and most reliable human rights organization, Amnesty International has chronicled all the illegal things ISREAL has done to Palestine, and Palestinians citizens, and you say we are the ones who are lied to and being manipulated. As princesses Diana would say, “Ha! That’s rich”. You can never even dream of having the kind of credibility that Amnesty International has, so your efforts to refute my statement will prove rather futile. Now let’s take a hypothetical situation: say that Palestine wAs in fact the aggressor, or is in fact the criminal. EVEN THEN, it doesn’t justify ISREALI soldiers arresting mere unarmed children. If you call a stone an “armed weapon”, you are most certainly a gigantic coward. If Hamas is the problem, keep it to Hamas. Don’t bring innocent civilians into this by killing them and evicting them from their rightful homes.
That's like saying Ukraine is under danger from its own leaders ..its not true....Ukraine needs to be helped as much as Palestine, Syria, Iraq,Iran,Yemen,Somalia etc...just as kosovo,Taiwan and kashmir need to be protected....and your assumptions or theories don't change this
This was so heatwarmong. Only thing that makes me sad is we didnt show this much support and care in African ,Middle Eastern, or South American refugees :(
I was thinking the same thing. It's wild how the US will do spend millions helping fight a war on another continent... but the ppl south of us are fighting a war amongst themselves... fueled with guns THAT WERE BROUGHT INTO THEIR COUNTRY FROM THE US! And we can't even open our doors for them when the war that's going on is a war that is our fault. We are the main consumers of the drugs they're fighting over. We're the ones allowing them to transport weapons into their country and we're not allowing the innocent ppl so deal refuge in our home despite its being 85% our fault it's even going on.
Load More Replies...Because Russia is a huge threat to the US and if Putin wins..the US will suffer ...also it is a good opportunity to get rid of this threat🤷🏻♀️
Yes, precisely. It is not a coincidence that 3 continents have united because of their love for Ukraine. It is because the invader is Russia and its footing into Europe is a menace. Other countries have been attacked , one example, Christian Armenia with 2 million population was attacked by two despotic regimes, Turkey and Azerbaijan with combined populations of over 100 million, and over three months all the infrastructures, residences, hospitals, schools were bombed even with banned bombs, people were killed and 5000 young men from 19 to 20 year olds fought to defend their homeland, many citizens ended losing arms and legs, aid from few countries came however, countries did not come together to stop the war mongoring countries who tried to annihilate the population of Armenia and take over the land that has been their homeland for 10,000 years. It is because everything is a matter of convenience and priority when it comes to picking their battles. The aggressors did not get punished,
Please remember that the first company to react to all of this was PornHub. They took down service in Russia immediately following the attack and removed all of the "movies" that originated in Russia and Belarus.
this won't be ended by the end of this war. this will only ended with the death of putin. and since we can't really send any army to russia then i would be the responsability of it's people to exterminate him.

This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. In the digital age we don't even have to leave our countries to help send aid to other countries in peril now. 60% of the damage can be done in seconds just by pressing a few buttons on an app n making a phone call. Hopefully it helps the ppl on the ground fighting against the Russians and gives them the advantage they need to overpower the Russians. Imagine if things were like this back during WW2.... if we had the ability to speak to ppl thousands of miles away in seconds and to post what's going on straight to the rest of the world. These are times where the internet is a beautiful beautiful thing. I mean, s**t you've even got Elon musks dusty, greedy ass helping out.... that's a feat in itself.
In all the horror that is entailed here, it is fantastic to see a united front from so many people in so many countries (including some really brave Russians) protesting, standing against Putin, supporting Ukraine in every way possible. Maybe we have finally learned from history, and we will not let another war happen.
The lesson I take away, as an American, is i will not allow my government to get us into another unjustified war ever again. No more Iraqs. No more Afghanistans. We are not the world's police. I will not allow us to be like Russia.
I'm so glad someone has bothered to reflect on their own governments actions in other countries! so many of us in Asia and Middle East are afraid of the US, like Eastern Europeans are afraid of Russia or South East Asians of China. You big powers are literally the same but don't see it. As citizens of such countries you have privalidge and power. I hope you realize that and elect people who aren't as horrid as Putin or Trump. Thank you!

Copenhagen is trying to change the name of the street, the Russian embassy at to Ukrainegade (Street = street)
The downside to having Russian media banned is that I’m really curious how Russia is spinning this to their own people. Of course it’s propaganda but how are they justifying this?
A Russian here. We`re been told this is not war, but a special military operation. We`re been told we`re not invading Ukraine, but protecting ourselves and Donbas from Ukrainian fascist. It`s all just lies, lies and more lies. We`re told that the Russian military attacks only Ukrainian military bases, warehouses and other important military locations. But we know from our indepentant media (wich gets banned here by the government), that civilians are getting injured and killed. It`s just so f*cked up. The government orded for special lessons to be held at schools, so the kids get explained what exacrtly "our heroic soldiers" are doing in Ukraine. Brainwashing us Russians since we`re young. Protestors all aroung Russia are getting arrested and beaten up. If you`re trying to donate to Ukrainian funds, your card gets blocked. Most Russians, at least those whose mind hasn`t been poisoned by Putins propoganda, hate Putin and never wanted for anything like this to happen.
Load More Replies...Where is Russian media banned? People from the Eastern part of Ukraine have been coming to Russia for the past few years for a reason, long before Russian soldiers were in Ukraine. None of us can know for sure what's going on, but western propaganda is insane. While US can do anything it wants to the countries that are nowhere near its borders, the moment Russia does something regarding a neighbor country (with people who have either Russian citizenship or have relatives in Russia) everyone starts hating the whole nation.
I don't believe anyone hates the Russian people. It is Putin's actions which are the problem here.
How does people moving from Ukraine to Russia justify invasion? US is far from perfect but don't try to act like Russia is just an innocent little country that never gets involved in other countries.
I'm not saying Russia is innocent. I'm not trying to justify anything. But people were moving because it was unsafe to stay there. Besides, some Ukrainian politicians have mentioned plans to «reclaim» the South of Russia, but it's just Russia who's condemned for threatening and taking action, right?
It's nice to know that humanity has the ability to unite in times of crisis and against a common enemy. I am worried because we're backing a dangerous animal into a corner though. Hopefully he'll be overthrown/arrested/executed before he has a chance to bear his full fangs and claws.
For all those who are discussing Palestine here, and who, just like anti vaxxers, refuse to believe in the truth, this is for you: You may support ISREAL because you believe Palestine is the aggressor. Amnesty International has done a long investigation and proven that ISREAL is the aggressor. You may continue to blind yourself to the truth by still supporting ISREAL, but remember this: Let’s say that Palestine WAS the aggressor. Even in that case, do you believe innocent worshipers of Al Aqsa mosque (who were simply praying), non violent protesters, and children holding stones should be killed? That schools with little children in them, and hospitals and relief centers should be bombed? You keep talking about Hamas. If Hamas is the problem, deal with HAMAS. Keep innocents and children out if this. You are right to defend yourself from, and attack Hamas, but what right do you have to attack, kill, evict, imprison without trial, and torture innocent civilians, when Hamas is your problem?
Well said.....sadly for these people logic doesn't work. I see people saying the Russian people deserve to suffer because they support their government..ignoring the fact that 98% of them can't do anything to stop him.... also if people can stop their governments why have Americans not stopped theirs from attacking other countries??

Sadly, today on the bus I witnessed nearly the opposite of this - a news report about the invasion of Ukraine came on the radio, and there was a group of kids who was laughing and asking "Why are they reporting about this? It's not happening here!" and I really wanted to slap them at that moment.
I wonder if any country will commit war crimes... Like Shrapnel weapons, Incendiary stuff, taking hostages, etc.
Yes they have as recently as September 2020/. For 3 months, The despotic regimes of Turkey and Azerbaijan eyeing Armenian lands that spanned 10,000 years attacked with Internationally banned weapons, banned shrapnels the latter was supplied by Israel during this attack among other military equipment and armaments, the government's explanation was , just business, it was about the millions they wanted) never mind that they came from a holaucost history right after our Genocide . the first one in the twentieth century where Armenians lost 1,5 million people when Turkey got rid of the Christian population, taking over the lands, the wealth that belonged to the Armenian people. After the Armenian architects built their palaces and Mosques (the Architects' names are still on those mosques, architects also got killed. The most recent war was also planned by Erdogan of Turkey to finish (in his own words The Genocide committed by his predecessor. Azerbaijan decapitated the Armenisoldiers &

While I'm very relieved the world is supporting Ukraine, I can't help but feel that the sanctions, military and financial aid, aren't going to stop Putin. He seems very happy to continue his invasion, and seems hell-bent on getting what he wants. And if he does - if he takes Ukraine and installs his own government - then what? A lack of global action against him, in this scenario, almost makes the world complicit, in my opinion. I don't have a military mind, and I know my opinion doesn't count for much, but the thought of him succeeding in taking Ukraine troubles me a great deal.

While buing groceries you can check on barcode of product, especially look at numbers under the code. If numbers start from 460, 461... to 469 this jeans that product is made/packed in Russia. Belarusian products start with 481 (but i'm not 100% sure with this!). This works in Poland, but I guess it's universal.
My hearts go out to Ukraine and all oppressed people around the world. I always said to myself if world war breaks out I'm running to Turkey, Ukraine is now 2nd on the list
When this is over, I trust return of Russia to the world economy will be permitted only when certain conditions are met:- 1. War trials for all involved in starting this war 2. Institution of a real democratic government 3. Continuing repayment to Ukraine to repair the damage 4. Compensation for all Ukrainian deaths and injuries The above to be funded as much as possible by the oligarchs who benifitted so much under Putin. And I think it is about time Europe demanded the return of Kaliningrad.
yeah... because russian athletes, artists, business, factories, citizens are the ones to blame and to shame. In fact the invassion is 100% their fault and desicion, right? Let's ruin all russian's lifes! Give them every reason to hate the rest of the world. Treat them like good Hitler treated Jewish people. Start bullying, deporting, stealing, every russian people you can find. Very well done world. You should be proud.
I would imagine most rational folks would understand this is hapoening to them because of their leaders actions and direct their anger/hate at them. The ones that use thisbas a reason to hate the world will generally be those that already hated us. And it is absurb to compare this to how Hitler treated Jews. Until countries start rounding up Russians, putting them in camps and killing them there is no comparison. It is totally resonable not to do business with an authoritarian gov't that is invading another country. If Russia persists then the world will need to open their doors to Russians that want out but we can't keep funding Russian aggression.

Putin is so f*****g desperate and always has been to be seen as this manly, strong, man....... how f*****g strong and manly is it to kill women, children, and unarmed civilians for a totally unnecessary war whilst you sit far far away just giving out the orders and knowing full well you're never going near the front lines yourself until it's 'safe' for you? Sounds pretty f*****g cowardly to me. Good luck to any Ukranians, sadly you're gonna need it.... and I don't have any experience of l iving under any of the other current leaders around Europe, but I would caution you to not trust a word that comes of Boris Johnsons mouth when he says he's with you.. because what he really means is your president shamed him and the rest of them all into action, action they weren't going to take if he'd not.
I'm afraid Russia will outlast all of this. "The West" as it is called, has a notoriously short attention span, and an even shorter tolerance for war. A couple of weeks from now Katie Price will get another lip filler or Kim Kartrashian will flash her twat on Instagram and the distractions will return us to our normal state - distracted and uncaring because it is not happening on our doorsteps.

Excuses Putin has used to try and gain control over ex USSR country. Along with claims of Ukraine being full of Nazis. Lying Evil Fu-cker.
I know it is not too much, but my husband, who is now in Serbia (work related) was driving yeterday for an hour to find petrol station, which is not supplied by Gazprom.
It is sad, but I think it is partially true. Aleksandr Vučić is told to be a supporter of Putin. But my husband told me, that even in serbian news, they are talking about war, not about "peacemaking operation". So atleast something
Economic sanctions can be more effective than bombs, because if Russia's economy goes kablooey then Putin can't buy more weapons or pay the soldiers.
Please do this for every country that has been attacked. For Palestine, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq. Do not pick and choose when and where it is acceptable. Every life is equal.
I came here to write exactly the same. World is in an almost constant fight, so why haven't we all united way earlier?
Load More Replies...Same reason we dont care if someone we dont know dies in another side of the country but when our neighbor does we do, it hits closer.. sad but true.
You’re right in one way. However, your analogy doesn’t ring everywhere. The USA, Canada, Taiwan, are they anymore Ukraine’s neighbors than they are Palestine’s? And one person, is different from 10s of 1000s of people.
All lives DO matter. If you have a problem with that then YOU are the problem.
I think he/she meant that when someone says “black lives matter”, there are those who keep countering it saying “all lives matter”. Now of course, as you said, all lives 100% DO matter, but saying that in a fragile situation could cause s stirrup, because it’ll sound insensitive if not preceded by “black lives matter”, as the problem at hand is the large number of incessant black deaths, and compared to black and colored deaths, other deaths are much lesser (which does not mean they don’t matter, but rather to focus on the problem at hand). However, other countries facing war isn’t like that, because war is in fact their problem at hand, and it’s important to bring awareness to that.
No, we just “all war torn countries matter” the invasion of Ukraine. You see, there is a lot of hypocrisy here, where all nations act so strongly when it comes to the invasions of ukraine, but they choose to sideline Palestine when Palestine still faces worse to this day. We are part of a minority in this world, much like Anonymous, who help expose this deliberate hypocrisy. Got a problem with that? Sue me. Or you could just, I dunno, Be part of the cause; bring awareness about ALL war torn countries. Say that Ukraine matters, and so does Palestine, and Syria, and Yemen, and Iraq, and all the others that are under the same if not worse circumstances day in and day out. Don’t forget, these countries are not a minority compared to Ukraine, much unlike how non colored peoples deaths are a minority when compared to Black peoples, and colored peoples deaths.
If you really care about war torn countries, raise awareness in a situation where it doesn't minimize or come at the cost of awareness of a particular war torn country. It's exactly like "All Lives Matter." Because all lives do matter. But saying that is still inappropriate in context.
Look. I get you. You feel we are invalidating Ukraine’s suffering by bringing awareness to other countries that face the same (in present day, not ancient history). And as weird as it sounds, you are not wrong to feel that way in the spur of the moment. So let me apologize for not wording it better. I will explain properly now:
Ukraine is in turmoil. They are suffering terribly, mentally, physically, and emotionally. They deserve to be defended and protected. They are innocent people in the middle of a raging war. Men, women, children, pets, all have been killed. And for what? Putin’s greed. I 100% stand with Ukraine and Ukrainians. Why? Not because they are white or black, not because of the religion they follow, not because I already hated Russia anyway, not because of any such thing. I stand with ukraine because they deserve to, undeniably, be stood with. And I will continue to stand up for them, wish well for them, and do whatever I can to support them, until the war ends. Glory be to ukraine!
But. Just because ukraine is a newer issue compared to other ongoing issues, does not make it less important, or the other countries less important. And when you keep having a problem with me bringing up other countries who are, and have been suffering jUst like Ukraine, it’s you who is costing the awareness of not one, but several war torn countries. Just because most of the world does not address those countries, doesn’t mean I’m costing the awareness of ukraine by mentioning others who suffer as well. In fact, I’m bringing more awareness, because I mention Ukraine, and I mention the other countries.
Why do you discriminate between Ukraine and Palestine (Amnesty International has chronicled all the terrible things being done to them by Isreal), and Syria and so on? Why? When they are both suffering the same, at the same time? Why do you choose Ukraine over those countries when you can support both? Is it because hypocritic countries like the US choose to discriminate between them and only support Ukraine? I have nothing against Ukrainians. Only against the giant cowardly hypocrites who support one place because the crowd supports one place, and who don’t support one place because the crowd doesn’t support that place. All without making educated decisions and simply going with the flow, because we all know that’s easier.
I stand with Ukraine. I stand with Palestine. I stand with Syria. I stand with all the war torn countries. And I will continue to stand with all of them even if no one does. Including Ukraine.
Palestine is not a country, and you're being lied to and manipulated if you believe that area is under danger from anyone but its own "leaders".
Palestine is a country, whether you like it or not. And the only one being lied to and manipulated here, is YOU. The world’s most important and most reliable human rights organization, Amnesty International has chronicled all the illegal things ISREAL has done to Palestine, and Palestinians citizens, and you say we are the ones who are lied to and being manipulated. As princesses Diana would say, “Ha! That’s rich”. You can never even dream of having the kind of credibility that Amnesty International has, so your efforts to refute my statement will prove rather futile. Now let’s take a hypothetical situation: say that Palestine wAs in fact the aggressor, or is in fact the criminal. EVEN THEN, it doesn’t justify ISREALI soldiers arresting mere unarmed children. If you call a stone an “armed weapon”, you are most certainly a gigantic coward. If Hamas is the problem, keep it to Hamas. Don’t bring innocent civilians into this by killing them and evicting them from their rightful homes.
That's like saying Ukraine is under danger from its own leaders ..its not true....Ukraine needs to be helped as much as Palestine, Syria, Iraq,Iran,Yemen,Somalia etc...just as kosovo,Taiwan and kashmir need to be protected....and your assumptions or theories don't change this
This was so heatwarmong. Only thing that makes me sad is we didnt show this much support and care in African ,Middle Eastern, or South American refugees :(
I was thinking the same thing. It's wild how the US will do spend millions helping fight a war on another continent... but the ppl south of us are fighting a war amongst themselves... fueled with guns THAT WERE BROUGHT INTO THEIR COUNTRY FROM THE US! And we can't even open our doors for them when the war that's going on is a war that is our fault. We are the main consumers of the drugs they're fighting over. We're the ones allowing them to transport weapons into their country and we're not allowing the innocent ppl so deal refuge in our home despite its being 85% our fault it's even going on.
Load More Replies...Because Russia is a huge threat to the US and if Putin wins..the US will suffer ...also it is a good opportunity to get rid of this threat🤷🏻♀️
Yes, precisely. It is not a coincidence that 3 continents have united because of their love for Ukraine. It is because the invader is Russia and its footing into Europe is a menace. Other countries have been attacked , one example, Christian Armenia with 2 million population was attacked by two despotic regimes, Turkey and Azerbaijan with combined populations of over 100 million, and over three months all the infrastructures, residences, hospitals, schools were bombed even with banned bombs, people were killed and 5000 young men from 19 to 20 year olds fought to defend their homeland, many citizens ended losing arms and legs, aid from few countries came however, countries did not come together to stop the war mongoring countries who tried to annihilate the population of Armenia and take over the land that has been their homeland for 10,000 years. It is because everything is a matter of convenience and priority when it comes to picking their battles. The aggressors did not get punished,
Please remember that the first company to react to all of this was PornHub. They took down service in Russia immediately following the attack and removed all of the "movies" that originated in Russia and Belarus.
this won't be ended by the end of this war. this will only ended with the death of putin. and since we can't really send any army to russia then i would be the responsability of it's people to exterminate him.
I read that he's taken his family to a 'luxury bunker' in Siberia. He is safe and can probably live there indefinitely. Which if true is all the more worrying, quite frankly.

This is incredible. Absolutely incredible. In the digital age we don't even have to leave our countries to help send aid to other countries in peril now. 60% of the damage can be done in seconds just by pressing a few buttons on an app n making a phone call. Hopefully it helps the ppl on the ground fighting against the Russians and gives them the advantage they need to overpower the Russians. Imagine if things were like this back during WW2.... if we had the ability to speak to ppl thousands of miles away in seconds and to post what's going on straight to the rest of the world. These are times where the internet is a beautiful beautiful thing. I mean, s**t you've even got Elon musks dusty, greedy ass helping out.... that's a feat in itself.
In all the horror that is entailed here, it is fantastic to see a united front from so many people in so many countries (including some really brave Russians) protesting, standing against Putin, supporting Ukraine in every way possible. Maybe we have finally learned from history, and we will not let another war happen.
The lesson I take away, as an American, is i will not allow my government to get us into another unjustified war ever again. No more Iraqs. No more Afghanistans. We are not the world's police. I will not allow us to be like Russia.
I'm so glad someone has bothered to reflect on their own governments actions in other countries! so many of us in Asia and Middle East are afraid of the US, like Eastern Europeans are afraid of Russia or South East Asians of China. You big powers are literally the same but don't see it. As citizens of such countries you have privalidge and power. I hope you realize that and elect people who aren't as horrid as Putin or Trump. Thank you!

I was with you until you threw trump under the bus. It's career politicians like biden that are to blame for our reputation.
Has anybody thought of the citizens of Russia? Most people in Russia had no desire to start an invasion.
my school is making displays and telling us to colour in stuff the colours of the ukrainian flag. it’s not much, not anything really, but kids in my school have started talking about it to other people and they are posting all over social media about it x #StandWithUkraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
i wish i could enlist and fight with ukraine but im not old enough :/
Copenhagen is trying to change the name of the street, the Russian embassy at to Ukrainegade (Street = street)
The downside to having Russian media banned is that I’m really curious how Russia is spinning this to their own people. Of course it’s propaganda but how are they justifying this?
A Russian here. We`re been told this is not war, but a special military operation. We`re been told we`re not invading Ukraine, but protecting ourselves and Donbas from Ukrainian fascist. It`s all just lies, lies and more lies. We`re told that the Russian military attacks only Ukrainian military bases, warehouses and other important military locations. But we know from our indepentant media (wich gets banned here by the government), that civilians are getting injured and killed. It`s just so f*cked up. The government orded for special lessons to be held at schools, so the kids get explained what exacrtly "our heroic soldiers" are doing in Ukraine. Brainwashing us Russians since we`re young. Protestors all aroung Russia are getting arrested and beaten up. If you`re trying to donate to Ukrainian funds, your card gets blocked. Most Russians, at least those whose mind hasn`t been poisoned by Putins propoganda, hate Putin and never wanted for anything like this to happen.
Load More Replies...Where is Russian media banned? People from the Eastern part of Ukraine have been coming to Russia for the past few years for a reason, long before Russian soldiers were in Ukraine. None of us can know for sure what's going on, but western propaganda is insane. While US can do anything it wants to the countries that are nowhere near its borders, the moment Russia does something regarding a neighbor country (with people who have either Russian citizenship or have relatives in Russia) everyone starts hating the whole nation.
I don't believe anyone hates the Russian people. It is Putin's actions which are the problem here.
How does people moving from Ukraine to Russia justify invasion? US is far from perfect but don't try to act like Russia is just an innocent little country that never gets involved in other countries.
I'm not saying Russia is innocent. I'm not trying to justify anything. But people were moving because it was unsafe to stay there. Besides, some Ukrainian politicians have mentioned plans to «reclaim» the South of Russia, but it's just Russia who's condemned for threatening and taking action, right?
It's nice to know that humanity has the ability to unite in times of crisis and against a common enemy. I am worried because we're backing a dangerous animal into a corner though. Hopefully he'll be overthrown/arrested/executed before he has a chance to bear his full fangs and claws.
For all those who are discussing Palestine here, and who, just like anti vaxxers, refuse to believe in the truth, this is for you: You may support ISREAL because you believe Palestine is the aggressor. Amnesty International has done a long investigation and proven that ISREAL is the aggressor. You may continue to blind yourself to the truth by still supporting ISREAL, but remember this: Let’s say that Palestine WAS the aggressor. Even in that case, do you believe innocent worshipers of Al Aqsa mosque (who were simply praying), non violent protesters, and children holding stones should be killed? That schools with little children in them, and hospitals and relief centers should be bombed? You keep talking about Hamas. If Hamas is the problem, deal with HAMAS. Keep innocents and children out if this. You are right to defend yourself from, and attack Hamas, but what right do you have to attack, kill, evict, imprison without trial, and torture innocent civilians, when Hamas is your problem?
Well said.....sadly for these people logic doesn't work. I see people saying the Russian people deserve to suffer because they support their government..ignoring the fact that 98% of them can't do anything to stop him.... also if people can stop their governments why have Americans not stopped theirs from attacking other countries??

Sadly, today on the bus I witnessed nearly the opposite of this - a news report about the invasion of Ukraine came on the radio, and there was a group of kids who was laughing and asking "Why are they reporting about this? It's not happening here!" and I really wanted to slap them at that moment.
I wonder if any country will commit war crimes... Like Shrapnel weapons, Incendiary stuff, taking hostages, etc.
Yes they have as recently as September 2020/. For 3 months, The despotic regimes of Turkey and Azerbaijan eyeing Armenian lands that spanned 10,000 years attacked with Internationally banned weapons, banned shrapnels the latter was supplied by Israel during this attack among other military equipment and armaments, the government's explanation was , just business, it was about the millions they wanted) never mind that they came from a holaucost history right after our Genocide . the first one in the twentieth century where Armenians lost 1,5 million people when Turkey got rid of the Christian population, taking over the lands, the wealth that belonged to the Armenian people. After the Armenian architects built their palaces and Mosques (the Architects' names are still on those mosques, architects also got killed. The most recent war was also planned by Erdogan of Turkey to finish (in his own words The Genocide committed by his predecessor. Azerbaijan decapitated the Armenisoldiers &

Egypt extends the stay of 16000 blocked Ukrainian tourists in hotels and resorts.
While I'm very relieved the world is supporting Ukraine, I can't help but feel that the sanctions, military and financial aid, aren't going to stop Putin. He seems very happy to continue his invasion, and seems hell-bent on getting what he wants. And if he does - if he takes Ukraine and installs his own government - then what? A lack of global action against him, in this scenario, almost makes the world complicit, in my opinion. I don't have a military mind, and I know my opinion doesn't count for much, but the thought of him succeeding in taking Ukraine troubles me a great deal.

While buing groceries you can check on barcode of product, especially look at numbers under the code. If numbers start from 460, 461... to 469 this jeans that product is made/packed in Russia.

My hearts go out to Ukraine and all oppressed people around the world. I always said to myself if world war breaks out I'm running to Turkey, Ukraine is now 2nd on the list
When this is over, I trust return of Russia to the world economy will be permitted only when certain conditions are met:- 1. War trials for all involved in starting this war 2. Institution of a real democratic government 3. Continuing repayment to Ukraine to repair the damage 4. Compensation for all Ukrainian deaths and injuries The above to be funded as much as possible by the oligarchs who benifitted so much under Putin. And I think it is about time Europe demanded the return of Kaliningrad.
yeah... because russian athletes, artists, business, factories, citizens are the ones to blame and to shame. In fact the invassion is 100% their fault and desicion, right? Let's ruin all russian's lifes! Give them every reason to hate the rest of the world. Treat them like good Hitler treated Jewish people. Start bullying, deporting, stealing, every russian people you can find. Very well done world. You should be proud.
I would imagine most rational folks would understand this is hapoening to them because of their leaders actions and direct their anger/hate at them. The ones that use thisbas a reason to hate the world will generally be those that already hated us. And it is absurb to compare this to how Hitler treated Jews. Until countries start rounding up Russians, putting them in camps and killing them there is no comparison. It is totally resonable not to do business with an authoritarian gov't that is invading another country. If Russia persists then the world will need to open their doors to Russians that want out but we can't keep funding Russian aggression.

Putin is so f*****g desperate and always has been to be seen as this manly, strong, man....... how f*****g strong and manly is it to kill women, children, and unarmed civilians for a totally unnecessary war whilst you sit far far away just giving out the orders and knowing full well you're never going near the front lines yourself until it's 'safe' for you? Sounds pretty f*****g cowardly to me. Good luck to any Ukranians, sadly you're gonna need it.... and I don't have any experience of l iving under any of the other current leaders around Europe, but I would caution you to not trust a word that comes of Boris Johnsons mouth when he says he's with you.. because what he really means is your president shamed him and the rest of them all into action, action they weren't going to take if he'd not.
I'm afraid Russia will outlast all of this. "The West" as it is called, has a notoriously short attention span, and an even shorter tolerance for war. A couple of weeks from now Katie Price will get another lip filler or Kim Kartrashian will flash her twat on Instagram and the distractions will return us to our normal state - distracted and uncaring because it is not happening on our doorsteps.
