A not so friendly reminder for the West to refrain from manifesting their Russophobia as a crazed persecution of witches, and also to not adopt the mindset that the Russian people as a whole “deserve” any of the measures taken against their country that will aggravate and endanger their lives

I can’t imagine the balls it takes to be a Russian anti-war protester right now. Good for them.

Sorry to be an ugly fun-killer but in light of the recent Invasion I urge you all to be mindful of the things you reblog and the memes that you repost. Please remember that behind every "world war 3 lmao" post there is a reality where real people are going to be displaced from their homes and are going to lose their lives.

Before you laugh at that tweet that talks about the draft or whatever ask yourself: are you laughing because it's funny? or are you laughing because you're safe and comfortable in the West and it's not a direct problem for you?

Hi, guys!

As you may know, I am Ukrainian. I live in Kyiv. I have lived here since I was born and I love my country with my whole heart.

I see a lot of misinformation under the tag "Ukraine". Most of it comes from American people, who try to explain the conflict in their own words. They can't. It's impossible to explain if you haven't lived here. There are too many influences on this conflict. You keep looking from an american perspective, which is not crucial in understanding the conflict.

For example, have you ever had you language forbidden? Like straight up forbidden by the law? It happened to Ukrainian language a lot of times thought our history. And who did it? The Russian Empire. And it's not the end of it. The genocides, the assimilation, the deportation. Have you even researched Ukrainian history?

You do not uplift Ukrainian voices enough. And you should if you care about what's happening. If you don’t do it, you're just doing a performance of your support and activism.

Lucky for you, I am a Ukrainian person! And I am DYING TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. I scored 191/200 points on my graduation exam in history, so you can suppose I know something about Ukrainian history.

If you stand for Ukraine, uplift Ukrainian voices. Educate yourself. Learn Ukrainian history. Ask Ukrainian people

I live in exactly none of these countries but I cannot help feeling that this isn’t helping at all

i'm kinda scared and not very politically inclined, do you think the united states is going to get bombed by russia?

There is a 0% chance that this will happen, and to be honest with you I find it hard to have sympathy for Americans feeling nervous about all of this. People in the US are the most protected-from-consequences people on the planet. There won’t be a draft and we will not be the victims, Ukrainians will. No one is invading your local McDonalds
