>The big difference between Ukrainians and Russians is that the former live in an internationally recognized democracy that has been improving its government and the rule of law, and the latter is a thoroughly corrupt mafia state.
You are thoroughly mistaken if you think Ukraine is any better than Russia. In the Panama papers, Ukraine exceeds Russia and in terms of far right wing violence Ukraine far exceeds Russia.

This war is not black and white. There are millions of shades of gray in between regardless of the constant nauseating fellatio of everything Ukrainian by the western media.

One is a democracy improving itself, the other is a goddamn dictatorship. Don’t be stupid.

I am not sure which one is which. Both are cut from the same cloth.
Wanted to explain you how wrong you are, but read your other comments and realized that it's a waste of time. The disgusting words you are writing is not an opinion, it's a standard well-packaged russian narrative for western world. The same you can see on RT, Sputnik and other russian propagandist channels. I just hope that people understands how many of this kind of infected retranslators over there.
Kowtowing to the corrupt state is to condemn one’s children and grandchildren to suffer through insecurity, cruelty, retribution, and poverty. The action you promote might reduce your own risk of personal injury, but only by transferring it to future generations. It is selfish, short-sighted, and destructive to progress.
But at least you admit cowardice drives your decision-making. It is not, by the way, something you should claim with pride.
