Who needs news cleared of prejudices (to the extent possible)? Especially those where you have to make efforts and analyze something there on your own? People consume information not at all because it is "objective", but exactly the opposite - because it is emotionally charged. News is read not for the sake of facts, but for the sake of rejoicing, indignant and convinced of the correctness of their own views on the world. For the sake of nurturing their prejudices and rubbing cognitive distortions. It is impossible to remove politics from politics and prejudice from journalism.
Over the past few weeks, Ukrainians have experienced an unprecedented level of consolidation among themselves. The last time I remember this was only in 2013-14 during the Revolution of Dignity. But at that time I remained an indifferent 17 boy. Now nothing will allow me to remain indifferent to the current situation. With the recognition of the republics, both for us and for the whole world, it became clear that for all these 8 years Russian troops and their proxies have been standing in Ukrainian Donetsk and Luhansk. For 8 years, Russia has been actively implementing a theater of military operations on Ukrainian soil. And today all world powers are in tune with this opinion.
But also today, more than ever, it needs the support of the whole world in general and each of its inhabitants in particular. After all, there have not been such military crises in Europe since the Second World War. And in the case of the deployment of full-scale actions, the consequences will be felt far beyond the borders of the European continent. Therefore, the least that each of you who will read this text can do is talk about Ukraine, draw attention to the current crisis, and do not remain indifferent. We immensely appreciate the help that we have already received and continue to receive, but against the background of the impending threat in the face of 200 thousand armed people, more than 1 thousand equipment along our borders, I urge everyone to join our situation.
Those few caring people who can and want to help us with deeds can support our charitable foundations to ensure our defense capability of the army. Over the past 24 hours, "Повернись Живим" charity fund (https://savelife.in.ua/donate/) on Patreon has collected more than 20 million UAH which equates to the total donations for the past year.
Or you can join my fundraising initiative for the Ukrainian army. If necessary, I will send the details to everyone who wants to participate.
In the Ukrainian military registration and enlistment offices, queues began to be observed for joining the ranks of the territorial defense. I repeat, Ukraine stands on its own land and does not want war, but if someone comes to us with a war, we will defend it.
Just reminding the obvious thing: any person directly or indirectly working for the Kremlin deserves to die.
And it is important that they all receive it in one form or another, from mercenaries to propagandists. Some will take a bullet, some will get something more intricate.
And to all the scum who want to joke about the superiority of Russian weapons and their inevitable crushing victory, I want to remind you that the most effective weapon of the weak against which there is practically no protection is called terror.
And if Russia really crushes Ukraine by force, as the "hawks" dream of it, war will inevitably come to every Russian home.
On every plane.
In every subway car.
As Sergei Kuryokhin said on this occasion: “It’s nice: here, let’s say, a Russian idea, a good cool idea, but it’s impossible to put it into practice, because it can’t be put into practice in any case, because it’s complete garbage, stupidity "fucking and fuck for the fucking assholes. But the whole idea is beautiful."
