Haven't posted here in a while, but I just wanted to come here and say that I'm fine and safe, at least for now. Although I am very scared for myself, for my family, for my friends, for everyone at their homes trying to protect themselves from attacks and especially for those fighting in the forces and protecting all of us and our land.
But we have to stay strong and believe, because Ukrainians are the most courageous people I know. And we'll get through this, we just have to.
Wish NATO had at least a little bit of this courage to finally help us protect our airspace. It would've saved so many lives already and would help us end these bitches sooner. And it would protect the rest of Europe, too. You never know what this monster putin would want to invade next.
As for russia and the russians, since 2014, I flinched every time I heard their anthem (so I had to put it on mute every time or try to leave the arena as soon as possible), seeing their flag hasn't been easy too, all the love and support and praising of their teams and athletes made me uneasy, including people jokingly (or not) saying they'd love to learn the russian anthem to sing along during the sports award ceremonies. But I tried to make excuses for some of them and still supported some of the athletes.
Now there's no more excuses for any russian who doesn't do anything to stop this war and haven't done anything to fight the government for years (meaning most of them), no excuses for staying silent and being scared of going to a protest (there are some, but it's not enough, not in comparison to how many Ukrainians have been fighting for justice and risking their lives). There will be no forgiveness for the number of killings they've commited or allowed. Not in their (and mine) lifetimes. russia's committing war crimes killing innocent people, targeting civillians' homes, even kindergartens and hospitals, trying to invade an independent country (how much land do you fucking want, you sick bastards??), and there's nothing that will ever justify that.
And most of them don't even know how many of their people, their sons, husbands and friends have already died (4k+ as of now). They still believe it's some kind of an "operation", not an actual war. I wish I still had it in me to feel sorry for you for being fed this propaganda bs for so many years (and some of it have spread to international media, unfortunately). But I don't. Instead, I hate all of you with every inch of my soul for doing this to us. I hate russian language, I hate anything russian I see. There are veeery limited exceptions left for those who at least make their opposition to putin and war public. To everyone else, fuck you, fuck you until your country pays for all the pain it's caused (not just in Ukraine, but in other countries they've invaded or helped invading).
Don't even care if I'm banned for "hate speech" or something. All I care about is for my people to survive.
Hope you'll never know what it's like to hear explosions in your city, to sleep in the hall trying to avoid being near the windows, to run to a subway while the sirens are screaming not knowing whether you'll get there in time (or hear them while there's no shelter nearby) and to feel the threat of invaders coming. We all know it now, not just a few regions, but the whole freaking country, the biggest country in Europe with some of the greatest and oldest history and culture, the country which NATO is not willing to protect.
Русский корабль, иди нахуй 🔥
