  1. It’s the West that’s wearing down Ukraine, not Russia. It’s we who inflicts severe harm to Ukrainians by deceiving them and using them to fight back Russia, simultaneously we’re indulging Russia to keep going. Something is missing in the leadership of the West. Helping Ukraine is an illusion because we’re not including all the facts in that assessment. The West providing weapons to Ukraine is absolutely true. Providing enough weapons to Ukraine well in time is however not true. So while it may seem like we’re helping Ukraine we’re actually not, we’re only making sure a lot of civilians and soldiers are getting killed. The lucky ones are left deeply scarred and traumatized for life which will yield its own set of problems we’re not even thinking about at this point. A strategy the Russian have used a lot is to pretend their military’s just about to collapse in order to get the Ukrainians hope up, only to be crushed when they realize it’s not going to happen. Iterating this over and over will eventually drain their spirit and will to fight. Sadly we do this to the Ukrainians too by instilling hope with our promises of support, since it’s not enough and/or in time or comes with restrictions, it’s not actually helping Ukraine. So now hopes get crushed from our side as well. Therefore we’re not only not helping, we're making it worse. And to make things even worse, western politicians indulge the Russian to continue their terror by not threatening them back or set any red lines for them. Safe to say Zelenskyy most probably wouldn’t have taken this fight in the first place had the west decided not to provide any help to Ukraine at all. However you want to think about that I’m sure you agree it’s still going to be the second best option for Ukraine. So in reality we are not helping Ukraine, we are helping Russia.
