To help citizens in need is always a good idea in such conflicts.
But also an old chinese saying is to help yourself first before you can help others with any useful effect.
A lot is going wrong on the whole world because nobody helps himself first but rather his ego.

"An unprovoked attack on their country."
Yes the citizens usually don't provoke such conflict directly and may also not indirectly and lot of them are still russia friendly at the time being.
Here is where goverments in general usually do their own stuff. But often indirectly supported by the citizens.

Regardless, thank you so much for doing this

The russian people dont get alot of news from outside of russia so they dont see the view from the outside.
Theres also the consequences of protesting getting arrested.. and that may not be the only thing,...

You know, even in Russia this could be judged by people as a wild xenophobia.
If you want to suspend Russians, prepare to be hatred by them. Most of the people of Russia aren't supporting this war (we can't protest against it because Putin's goverment threated us with 15-years prison sentence and the terrorist status), while foreigner's actions not against Russian Federation goverment, but against russian people make us to turn from foreigners and this left us alone with our problems, or even can push some of us into Putin supporters' groups, because we're living in a principle: "Кто не с нами - тот против нас" (You are either with us, or against us).
Damn, boy! Our goverment at first tried to lie to us that Russian army has no casualties, and then tried to lie about no using of military conscripts (first and largest part of Russian army, men from 18 to 27 years of age are required to complete one year of military service, we call it 'a second type of prison') and only using soldiers from the contract army (second part of army, professional militaries (all officers are contract militaries, for example), in EU and US it's called volunteer military system, as we call it in Russia the contract army), but we aren't fools! All of us have the internet, many of us have relatives in Ukraine or in Russian army. Everyone has enough information of Putin's war crimes, but we have nothing to do with it, because of harsh consequences followed by protests even in social media!

urbon wrote: @brony71 don't listen to those trolls. That make every person on earth responsable for this then and I don't see @newBornPB666 protesting in russia.
We all know isn't your fault or the russian common people. This is just the gov s*** like every country who invade another one in the past or still invading. Common people just want peace. Banning russians IS NOT GOING TO FIX ANYTHING. That's just a xenofophic s***. Is just a gamming community for god's sake.

newBornPB666 wrote: mistake ! in reasoning!
13,000 Russian soldiers have died in Ukraine because they are fighting for the Kremlin's Rule.
In the name of this Principle, more than 15,000 ordinary Russians were imprisoned.

does one contradict the other?

Thank you very much to all those who support Ukraine. I myself am from Kyiv. All day long they are forced to hear rocket strikes, sirens. I hope your help will reach those in need, of whom there are a lot, and who are now in trouble. Thank you everybody.
P. S War should only be in games.

SoN6of6TrediS wrote: Hello everyone, dear friends!
First of all, I would like to say that I am a Russian myself, born in Russia and who has lived on the territory of the Russian Federation all my life.
I have many relatives and friends in Ukraine. I have always considered Ukraine closer to me in spirit, but unfortunately I have not been able to go there to visit my relatives and friends.

I express my complete disagreement with the actions of our government, as well as the majority of sensible Russians. No one wants war except Putin and his f-king government. And I really want everything go back to normal, when all of us could live in peace.

What is happening in Russia now is an economic catastrophe and I don't think our country will be able to recover after so many foreign companies leave cooperation with Russia.
I understand that there are a lot of people in the world now, including our brothers Ukrainians, who believe that the Russian people are to blame for everything.
In part, I cannot disagree with this, because we really have a theoretical opportunity to go to the red square in front of the Kremlin and ALL OF US oppose the goverment. BUT here's an interesting thing that few people talk about from the foreign media.

The Russian Federation now has a LAW according to which the ongoing WAR can be called ONLY as a "Military operation to liberate Ukraine from the Nazi regime." Most of our independent media outlets are CLOSED as "Foreign Agents" or "Extremist Organizations".
At the same time, deputies say literally the following through government FEDERAL channels: "Those of you who are against the war are traitors to our country."

Next comes a text that justifies the inaction of the Russian people. Please take it seriously and don't think that I'm trying to get pity from you.

For spreading the TRUTH about the situation in Ukraine, for mentioning the WAR in Ukraine, for the slogan "NO TO WAR", ordinary citizens who have not previously expressed their opinion on this situation face a fine from 150'000 to 300'000 rubles. (On average, people in the Russian Federation earn from 25'000 to 70'000 rubles). Given the current dollar exchange rate, this is $1,345 - $2,691 (administrative fine), with a salary in Russia = $224-$627.

It follows from this that it is too much for many people to pay a fine for violating the new law.

Also, in accordance with this law, people who have already received this administrative fine will not receive it again. Instead, they will be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison. For large companies and legal entities, this term of imprisonment increases to 10 years. If a media person speaks out with anti-war and pacifist speeches and if this leads to new sanctions for the Russian Federation, then such a person gets up to 15 years in prison.

LIVE UKRAINE!
NO TO WAR!
RUSSIA WITHOUT PUTIN!

A lot of people don't understand that you're victims in this too. There are people over there getting arrested for protesting this war including a women who used to report Kremlin propaganda. It's clear that the people of Russia are against this act of terror but they're powerless to stop it. Yet despite that there are still people protesting. Sadly there's a road full of prejudice ahead for the people of Russia thanks to the actions of one man. Take care of yourself in these tough times. <3

Yes, and some kind of biased judgment.
Before judging your fellow soldiers and the fatherland, do not forget that they are dying there now, it's not very nice of you to say this until it's all over.

Thank you all, friends! <3
