Ukrainians were actually indifferent to NATO and confrontation with Russia. Ukraine chose Zelensky for peace, not war with Russia. It is more correct to ask why the Ukrainian authorities wanted to join NATO and confront Russia

@johnniemac173 It's a pity that you missed the gap between Zelensky being elected and the war starting. And during this period of time he refused to comply with the Minsk agreements, saying that he did not like the points in it, and continued to strengthen cooperation with NATO. Russia warned Ukraine to stop, but no, Zelensky decided to fight. You can laugh there at how Russians and Ukrainians die. But you are deeply mistaken about the fact that the war will end soon. The war will continue and millions of Ukrainians and Russians will die in it. No matter how scary and sad for us, we will fight for the security of our country. We are waiting for the order of the commander-in-chief to mobilize ...

@cristinatomutza799 Your safety is not threatened. Of course, you have nothing to worry about... Well, our thoughts do not mean anything anymore. Now everything is decided on the battlefield. Will NATO defeat Russia in Ukraine or not. If we lose, then you won and your enemy is finally destroyed... And as the American generals already say, the collapse of the USSR must be brought to an end so that Russia never recovers.

@cristinatomutza799 But most of all, I'm sad for the people whom Putin abandoned. A lot of people in Kharkov supported us, and when we left these territories, Ukrainian soldiers came here. For them, the inhabitants, who were loyal to the Russian soldiers and continued to live peacefully, became evil collaborators. Why didn’t Putin evacuate the civilians who lived there during the retreat? Some have already been killed, some will be tortured and put in jail for years to come. Our soldiers said that Russia came here forever, and then sent them to the Ukrainians for reprisal... Why is Putin once again betraying them as people in the Donbass? Most of all now I am afraid for Donetsk and Lugansk. There is the highest level of support for Russia. If we do the same with the inhabitants of these territories, then I will never forgive the authorities. In this case, tens or hundreds of thousands of citizens from there will be terribly punished Ukrainian soldiers who do not forgive the betrayal of their fellow citizens...

@ddoppster In economic terms, Russia was not against the integration of Europe and Ukraine. The key problem is that without military integration Europe is not interested in economic integration. And so you decided to give Ukraine some preferences, so that later you can use Ukraine to contain Russia. You are right about the problems of Russia. We have problems with you threatening Russia and therefore we are trying to resolve them in Ukraine in the only possible way. And if you don't like the way we handle them, that's your problem, right? Do not talk nonsense about a peaceful neighbor. Peaceful neighbors do not walk around with rallies calling for Russians to crack down (This happened even before the Maidan). I would have looked at how you would call us peaceful if we had calls in the center of Moscow to kill the nation (place your nation). And if you arm people who are preparing to oppose us, then it is our right to preventively respond to this.

@aaronbaker2186 You can try to do it.

@aaronbaker2186 I am not particularly interested in the territories of Ukraine. I didn't mind if Ukraine was an independent country with which we could cooperate. But at the moment, Ukraine is a non-sovereign country, which is used by the West in its own interests to fight against Russia. Therefore, I will support any measures that will deprive Ukraine of the opportunity to threaten Russia. The problem that some citizens of Ukraine want to be friends with Russia clearly does not justify a military intervention. This could have been resolved in another way.
