Not only that you showed your respect to Ukraine through celebrating our culture in your country, but of course your support to us in fighting against the evil cannot be overestimated. Ukraine will liberate all of its land and my family and I will be able to finally return to my native town which is currently occupied and to my home in which the "russan liberators" currently reside. But I just want all the free world who supports us to know that our victory will be joint!

@@hopebgood maybe they don't support him, but they also don't do anything about it. Their inactivity is a crime. How the fact that some of them don't support him is supposed to make me feel better, when I wake up in the middle of the night because of explosions, terrified for safety of my kids, or every time when I think of the fact that my house, my property, all of my memorable items are taken by the orcs? Trust me, I know russians. 1. Most of them do support all the actions of the government 2. Most of the supporters are happy and say "more!" in the social media when another apartment building is destroyed in Ukraine with dozens of casualties including kids. 3. Those, who don't support are waiting for Ukraine to win and as a result putin losing his power, cause they're just too lazy or afraid to change some in their country on their own.
