The war in Ukraine has left many of its nationals living abroad unable to help their family back home. Among them is Nana, a former Ukrainian gymnast who now lives in China with her husband in Henan province. Feeling helpless as her family sought to flee the fighting in Ukraine, Nana said having the support of her husband, who’s a vlogger, as well as from well-wishers on China’s social media, helped her through the difficult times. Her family have since managed to escape the conflict.

[@alexgang408]

I wish that too. I stand with Ukrain but Against the US. If only one day the US can listen to all other countries instead of labeling them as dictators, forcing its allies to alienate other countries and staged sanctions against them. If you treat someone as enemy, how do you expect they don’t feel the same towards you? Russia’s fear of NATO expansion toward its border is legitimate. It has tried many times to talk to all the world leaders about that, including US and NATO countries, china and even Japan to express its frustration. But the US didn’t listen. It kept ignoring them and treated them as enemy. Eventually, the Russia gave up peaceful resort and launched this war. It’s just like many protests around the global where the citizens resort to violence when their voice is never heard.

[@PureBadBreath]

@@alexgang408 not sure about that. Constructive dialogue is always welcomed but when we can clearly see Russia repeatedly violating other countries sovereignity with invasion eg. Georgia, Ukraine twice, and now threatening Finland and Sweden then this is completely unacceptable. We see innocent civilians, schools, kindergarten, maternity hospitals, humanitarian corridors deliberately attacked then there's simply no trust. We can argue about the lead up to the invasion and some of the causality, but nothing can excuse the atrocities being committed as part of a military and political strategy.

Russians and Ukrainians differ in appearance. Firstly, Russians have more oval and elongated faces (it is Finn-ugric roots), and Ukrainians have rounder faces (it is Scythian and Sarmatian roots). Secondly, Russians often have an overhanging eyelid (as in Navalny's wife Yulia Navalnaya) and more deeply set eyes. Ukrainians don't have an overhanging eyelid, and their eyes are wider and more open. In Russians, the lower part of the nose is very often raised upwards, it is called a snub-nosed nose, in Ukrainians, their noses are very straight. Official statistics say that Ukrainians are taller than Russians by 5-6 centimetres. In the Ukrainian language, marriage couple means "friends" (подружжя), and in the Russian language, marriage couple means "who have one harness" (супруги). So for Ukrainians, marriage relationships are associated with friendship.

China haven't invade any county in 40 years compared to democratic nation that always in war. On the other hand, "Americans have been invading other countries since before America was a thing, as early as 1741, when the North American battleground for the War of Austrian Succession was called King George’s War - one of the French and Indian Wars. That’s a lot of wars. According to Kelly and Laycock’s book, the United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193 - a staggering 98 percent. The authors pose mixed, apolitical ideas. Without America’s worldwide military involvement, the U.S. would be smaller with less clout, and Mexico would be bigger, with more clout. American invasions checked the spread of totalitarianism in the 20th Century, and without such opposition, the spread could have been much worse. Finally, despite the image of an “imperial” United States, *only* America can meet some of the transnational challenges faced by the world in the 21st Century. On the contrary, China is the only thing keeping Anglo-American white supremacy in check.
