how do people dare to whine about ukraine on eurovision. the entire ukrainian nation and culture is under threat of getting annihilated, people are DYING and you're pressed because people might vote for them to win the eurovision song contest?? is "political voting" on eurovision your biggest fucking problem right now? because it sure as hell isn't their biggest problem.

I'm weak. I want home. I want to come back and to see my apartment intact (I'm not scared of marauders, only of missiles). I want to meet my sister and friends, but most of all I want them be safe. I hope that the miracle had happened and my sister's landlord (a man of heart, actually) survived in Bucha. I want my relatives from Odesa to be safe. I hope they'll be strong. I wish myself to survive battle for Donbas (I'm kinda safe, but still not far enough, missile shit could happen)

people are so shocked that russian soldiers are looters as if russia is not a looter state that stole tones of cultural heritage from ukraine and still keeps it in its museums
