Ok, I had more time to focus on this comment that I thought to be about something else. Honestly, this comment is pointless. See again the example here https:

that you have not addressed.
Let me iterate it one more time. Whataboutism does not help. It only distracts.
If you care about Yemen, if you care about Ethiopia (I actually care but I do not have any idea how to stop it) then propose solutions that would end the conflict. I'm eager to read about these.
Don't fuck up (sorry) solutions to other conflicts that can be realistically implemented. It does not help.
Talk about your conflicts, propose solutions, but don't fuck up solutions to other conflicts because you think that your conflicts do not receive enough attention.
Ukrainian invasion is European war, so Europeans care, especially Eastern Europeans. This conflict has at the moment only military solution as all the other solutions have failed so far. How many times have European leaders called Putin? What is the result? During Georgian war it had effect. Not anymore. It is ideological war, it does not have any rational purpose. It only ends when either Ukraine surrenders or somebody or something convinces Putin to stop.
What it could be in your opinion? Ukraine not joining NATO? Sorry, it was not going to because of ongoing conflict anyway. And Putin knows this.
But lets assume that Putin agrees to stop hostilities for land. Lets be generous and give him all the Donbas and all the land currently occupied by Russia. What does stop him from starting the war again when he has recovered and regrouped? If you think Russia respects agreements then you really do not know Russia. You do not know Russian mentality. Many people do. Listen to them.
The current solution is to exhaust Russia's warring capacity so it literally could not make continued war in the future. The more modern heavy weapons Ukraine receives, less are there civil casualties because Ukraine can eliminate Russian forces from safer distance. This is literally the only thing at the moment that helps to save lives. Everything else is just wishful thinking and procrastination.
