[@agatastaniak7459]

Indeed, we should be grateful for peace. We should aslo recognize that it is within each and every of us to either makes sure that we maintain the peace or impose peace or that we decide to promote and instigate conflicts. I come from a family that has survvied many brutal conflicts and we have always cherished peace the most but we have witnessed people around us who have forgotten that what matters more is what brings people together, not what divides them. Mongolia in here, women of Mongolia is giving us all a lesson in here in this simple truth that we can always choose to react in a manner that is soothing, compassionate and brinign peace rather than in a manner that will stir more conflict. As for " so much infrastructure all gone"- everyone watching this of thinking of all this, reflect for a mintue what your life would be like with 80% of electricity and water gone in your city or whether you live. Since this is Kyiv tonight. And if you think you cannot do anything, think about the smallest thing you could do to help and do it. Since there are 8 billions of us, humans across the globe now, and with such a huge volume every little counts.

[@vredacted3125]

Something important to know, for all who are interested in history and/or support Ukraine: Rus' ought not to be confused with modern “Russia”, which derives its name from the Rus' but historically is a completely different state, which almost all its existence was at war with the Rus'. Just like the Holy Roman Empire was actually Germany, “Russia” is actually Muscovy, despite their best attempts to convince everybody otherwise. Its name “Russia" received only around 1721, when Peter I simply changed Muscovy’s name into the “Russian” Empire (Russia originates from Rosia, name used by the Greek Orthodox Clergy in regards to Rus') Under the reign of Cathrine II Muscovites where even punished for continuing to identify as Muscovites, and were forced to call themselves Russian. Lands that Russia (Muscovy) claims were part of the original Rus', but actually weren't, are Novgorod, Suzdal, and Ryazan, since in historical texts of XI-XII centuries they are mentioned as separate entities from Rus'. They can be considered parts of extended Rus', although their culture was distinct from main Rus'. In 1493, Muscovite duke Ivan III appointed himself to be the Great Ruler of All Rus'. No other kings acknowledged that. From that point on Muscovy started to make false claims on Rus' ownership. “Russia” is an offshoot of Ukraine and not the other way round, despite what Soviet and Russian (Muscovite) historians have been trying to say for years. A Slavicised Finnic, then later, Mongolized offshoot. Kyiv was a developed cultured capital when Moscow was just another swamp village. Germany used to call itself the Holy Roman Empire, that didn’t mean they became the Romans, and all of a sudden had a right to claim whole of Italy and its history, but yet, that’s exactly what Russia (Muscovy) did in regards to Rus'-Ukraine, which is a horrible injustice!

Mind Begs the Question: If deploying Weapons,Mercenaries At USA doorstep (Cuba) - Not Allowed At Russias doorstep (Ukraine) - Allowed Democracy,Imperialism?

[@proselytizingorthodoxpente8304]

Dumb question. The country sending mercenaries and missiles into Ukraine was Russia.

[@RichardTaylor1630]

Are you saying that Cuba was deprived of any Russian weapons? If so, you are flat wrong. The Kennedy/Krushchev deal was for withdrawal of NUCLEAR missiles from Cuba in exchange for withdrawal by the US of nuclear missiles from Turkey. No one is proposing to put US nuclear missiles in Ukraine. But really the better solution would be to dispose of the tyrannical Castro state, AND give Ukraine back the equivalent of the missiles that they had at the time of the breakup of the Soviet Union. Ukraine was conned out of those missiles by Russia, which promised, in the Budapest Memorandum, to "RESPECT UKRAINE'S TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY." Put that fact in your "thinking being" brain.

@@baroneleve1196 I never claimed ukrainians havent fled. Their country was attacked by an invading army. It makes sense to flee. If everything is a-okay in russia, why are russians fleeing? No one attacked their country.
