The comment author went into a yellow newspaper grade rampage here, (huge) overstatements like
> the country is being literally, fucked, by Russia and the West
> the whole country is / was about to explode
> people ... are literally trying their hardest to get out before they get killed
> When the power goes out at night, almost everyday they think the Russian have finally decided to bomb them.
and urban myths from the 90s (like the HIV needle story) included.
"slums of Kiev" might sound scary, but a lot of cities anywhere have their less interesting places. No matter what country you are from, if you want a life you will want to be out of those as soon as possible. And even then by "slums" I suppose the author meant sovietic social housing, where a lot of decent people lived and do still.
In ukrainian message boards, on news resources and youtube comment sections you can find statements of similar quality, but less thick. Those are usually left by pro-russian trolls to stir some "debate" that ends in slurs and swearing, not to say author is one.
Some points are valid like the president one, but even the best of us make mistakes by not taking an active enough stance.
To conclude, this post is not on a technical matter, but at least the author could try to keep it cool and constructive.
