I don't think what something was written in should count. Baring bugs it should still be memory safe. But I believe JVM has ffi and as soon as you use ffi you risk messing up that memory safety.

My understanding is that the user who writes an unsafe block in a safe function is responsible for making sure that it doesn't do anything wrong to mess up the safety and that the function isn't lying about exposing a safe interfa

Russia is not intrested in peace. The only solution is supporting Ukraine until Putin changes his mind. Undermining them only makes peace less likely because then why would Russia stop
