This is why Ukrainians fight so hard, and will never surrender: their parents grew up under Russian oppression, they've been living in freedom for 30 years, and they do not want their children to grow up under similar oppression as their parents. Not to mention that Russian state media has basically declared every Ukrainian who isn't actively helping Russia, to be "Nazis", and they should all be killed or put to slave labour. That's an outright call to massive genocide. Ukrainians have no option but to fight.
