Every day as the situation unfolds I come ever closer to the conclusion that with the benefit of hindsight in retrospect - the West will come to painfully regret their inaction at each crucial point of this conflict. There’s an apt compound word in Russian - “братоубийцы» that translates to brother-murderers. Russia and Russians, regardless of what their feelings about this disgusting act is - will never wash away that stain. There will forever be monuments to remind people of what they have done. I am Russian-speaking, and when I was younger as I would travel to Western Ukraine or Baltics on some occasions I would encounter hostile treatment that I found so unfair - I enjoyed visiting there, I liked the places, I had no ill will against the people. Now I’ve come to viscerally understand exactly what they felt towards me. I am ashamed to the point of anger.
