I can listen no longer in silence. I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever.

Russia: We are against Ukraine because they want to be independent from us, align themselves with the West to get protection from us, and have the audacity to have their own culture and language that isn't us. Also, we are invading them for reasons that are easily disprovable such as some alleged genocide against Russian speakers in Ukraine that 100% totally exists and isn't just made up to justify imperialism and the fact that their government is run by Nazis, even though their president, who won in a landslide victory, is literally Jewish, and had family both die in the Holocaust and fight against the Nazis in the Red Army.

Ukraine: We are against Russia because they literally invaded us, committed/are committing horrific atrocities and crimes against humanity against us such as torture and execution of civilians and POWs alike, systematic kidnapping of Ukrainian children, forcing Ukrainians in Russian-occupied territories to fight against their own country, widespread rape as a weapon of war, and film such atrocities and even send such videos to the family members of the victims.

Centrists and/or tankies: I literally cannot tell you apart, but, just to be safe and to end the war as soon as possible, Ukraine should just roll over and give Russia everything it wants. Oh, what's that? Bucha? You're afraid that what happened in Bucha is an indication of what would happen in Ukraine as a whole if Russia took over? Nonsense! Putin once promised security or something if Zelenskyy flew to Moscow, and I'm sure if we ask Putin super nicely, he'll keep his promise not to invade more of Ukraine and commit more atrocities because he's denying that Russia is even did anything bad in Bucha, and obviously, he's telling the truth, because it's not like he's a mob boss murderous dictator who casually kills his opponents and has broken 182397429384 treaties with Ukraine in the past.

Did I get that right? I'm not Ukrainian, so please educate me if I got something wrong, but that seems to be my understanding of things and how certain people react to the war....
