We lost the previous war with RF, then paid a huge price for that in 1932-1934. 7 million adults (this number is accepted by RF in 2008) and 23 million children

We lost the previous war with RF, then paid a huge price for that in 1932-1934. 7 million adults (this number is accepted by RF in 2008) and 23 million children (this number is not accepted by RF) were murdered by hunger during «Holodomor».
We will do everything possible to avoid repeating of the genocide, but RF is a strong opponent with a lot of resources, so we need to be smarter, see better, be better equipped, and be faster. Otherwise, they will just push us inch by inch to Western border.

Since then I have panic attack from time to time from the idea I won't have anything to give my children when they ask for something to eat. It's even worse now, because that's what is happening on occupied territories.
- peterburkimsher 4y agoHow can I give you some food? Or to people in occupied territories, whoever needs it. Life has ups and downs. Thank God I'm doing OK these days, so the only appropriate response to that prosperity is to share freely. Then if/when the tides turn, someone will be able to show the same kindness. So yes, I would like to help if you can specifically say how to do so.
- helge9210 4y agoThank you for your support! Expecting current situation I and my family left Ukraine in 2012, so we currently help refugees arriving to Germany.
- konart 4y agoI mean... I am Russian-Ukrainian. I'm more or less aware. I doubt there is a way for Russia to win here in any meaningful way. Russia already lost too much armor without gaining anything but a land route to Crimea (which it needs to secure somehow). Russia does not have any modern tech of its own production and population that is not a supportive as the government would like. Even now real support is not as widespread but it will only get worse with economy going south. People are cheering while they still feel safe and relatively comfortable. I highly doubt Russia can do much without WMD here. And using WMD's will be a loss anyway.
- jacquesm 4y agoAgreed. The really big question to me is this: Ukraine is steadily building up momentum and capabilities, if they turn this war around, and there is a fair chance of that happening Russia will be pushed back, possibly out of the east of Ukraine and maybe even out of Crimea. That would cause some real trouble and might trigger Russia to make desperate moves.
