One of this blog’s goals is to convey an adequate, well-founded picture of what is happening or has happened in Ukraine to a foreign reader. That’s why the site is in English, that’s why I touch on today’s relevant topics for me in the daily notes of my life.
I write about what worries me.
In my country, there is already a full-scale war on the 262nd day, and it is still impossible to remain silent about it.
Successes and failures at the front in the news format here will be more of an exception than a regular phenomenon. This is a matter of specialized sites.
My goal is to touch on non-obvious issues that can be not only interesting, but also useful to a foreign visitor.
Over time, I will understand a little better what exactly my audience wants to read and hear from me. But today the site is just being born. Only a few people from my environment know about him, so I make the first publications intuitively and about what I consider important at the moment.
Today is the twelfth day of my marathon. Every day I blog my thoughts and observations. Most of these posts mention the war in one form or another. As I wrote in my long article about the war – “the war has seeped everywhere.” And it’s true. War has become a new reality, everything that surrounds me with the flavor of this deadly phenomenon.
Alive Dialogue With the Western Voter
Somewhere on the network the other day I came across the following lines:
“it is necessary to convey the true situation to the Western voter:
- Ukraine does not want war, but peace; after the aggressor and occupier completely withdraws the troops from its territory;
- Ukraine wants negotiations; about the reparations that the aggressor must naturally pay to Ukraine and the whole world;
- the world crisis, the economic recession is not “because of the Ukrainian crisis”, but “because of the russian invasion”.
This is very cool the Serhiy’s activities (meaning Serhiy Sternenko – note of the blog author) are within the borders of Ukraine, but it is necessary for the Western voter, who pays for Ukraine’s help in its struggle, to understand that it is precisely the russia got into his pocket.”
I thought that the author is right and this is exactly what I would like to do on a regular basis, to be this bridge between “our life” and the foreign one.
My assessment and perception will naturally be more creative, sublimated through the writer’s prism.
I just love to write. And the fact that it will, perhaps, be useful to someone, is good.
If you look closely at the lines above, the desire to communicate with a Western audience is positioned as helping Ukraine, and this is also important to me.
Although, frankly speaking, I still don’t have a vivid feeling that I am helping the country with my creativity. I just do the things that I’m good at and that I like. Perhaps, over time, this flavor of help will be more noticeable.
The very fact that I am trying to have a dialogue with a foreign reader is a source of comfort for me by default. As if my blog is about what the author of the above lines mentions.
Of course, the military theme will dominate for now, but besides that, I would like to write about literature, cinema, society, an active lifestyle, nutrition, animals, the Earth, survival and much more.
“Foreign voter” is still a mystery to me, just as the real situation of affairs in Ukraine is a mystery to many of them.
But I am starting this dialogue, and I hope that in the future our “communication” will be more active and we’ll find an understanding.
Ukraine does not want War, but Peace
So it’s true. I have not yet met people on my way who would not wish this horror ending. The tenacity of our soldiers and successes on the battlefields come at a huge cost in life, health, and well-being. But all these sacrifices are only in order to stop the atrocities and horrors that russia is wreaking on our lands.
We (Ukrainians) did not come to our neighbor to kill, rob, occupy, destroy.
Justice is peace, and peace will be achieved only when the last muscovite warrior leaves our land, in zinc or on foot.
Ukraine wants negotiations
This is also true.
But what kind of dialogue can we talk about with terrorists, murderers and occupiers? russia has already proven its attitude to agreements that were grossly violated at the beginning of a full-scale invasion.
Those agreements that could appear now will also be violated.
The current administration in moscow is incapable of adequate conversation.
What kind of diplomacy can we talk about, if this bio waste led by a bald dwarf gives only ultimatums to Ukraine?
Therefore, the only way to peace is the physical enemy destruction, the complete de-occupation of our legal territories.
Negotiations may take place, but, according to Zelensky, it will be only after the release of Ukrainian land and full reparations.
The world crisis is not “because of the Ukrainian crisis”, but “because of the russian invasion”
Only people who perceive the situation very superficially can be dissatisfied with their life in Europe or the USA “because of the Ukrainian crisis”. Perhaps they have a pro-russian position and in this way try to adjust their vision, justify their attitude and fairly logical aggression, negative attitude towards funding and support of Ukraine.
I would very much like to communicate with such people. And not in order to convince them, but first of all – to understand the course of their thoughts, I am interested in how it works, what arguments these people will give.
Of course, for many “Western voters”, the war in Ukraine is an uncomfortable moment.
“The war is somewhere far away, and here we suffer and suffer from it.”
Only compassion will help in this. As well as unity awareness. All borders in the world are quite conditional. And above all, they happen in heads, rather than on the Earth surface..
Today, humanity has come face to face with outright evil, and Ukraine is taking the brunt of it. The fact that the whole world suffers from this is completely logical and should be obvious to a reasonable person, because everything affects everything. And those who isolate themselves and do not accept “because of the russian invasion” live in a parallel, very limited world and will not even try to question the position.
But sooner or later it will happen, because absurdity and outright evil have crossed all limits. The mouths of these creatures stick out just like pro-russian propagandists.
Very soon the truth will tear apart every centimeter of their paradigm and will very awkwardly jump to another chair in front of all humanity.
If it weren’t for the world’s massive aid to Ukraine, then after our territory’s occupation, this garbage would have gone further. This was repeatedly broadcast on their television until the liberation of Ukrainian territories. The invasive spirit was actively implemented along with the pseudo majesty of russia.
The victory of Ukraine is the victory of the entire civilized world
Every local victory of Ukraine is a victory for the whole world.
First of all, those countries that provided aid supported us in various ways. I am sure that each of the countries that provided financial, humanitarian, military, psychological or any other aid will be remembered by Ukrainians for years with words of gratitude.
We will never forget it.
Now Ukraine is not at war with russian terrorists, the whole world is resisting the aggression of these monsters on the territory of our state.
Yes, we are defending our independence, our legitimate lands, but we are doing it with the great whole world’s support.
Therefore, the world crisis, the economic crisis is a consequence of the inadequately aggressive policy and unheard of crimes of the russian understate.
In order for changes to take place for the better, the invaders must leave our land. As corpses or alive – time will tell.
In order for the world to have at least some chance of recovery and improvement of the general situation, radical changes must first of all take place in russia.
As long as scum, lying bastards are in power, nothing good should be expected.
Conclusions
A small blog post grew into an article, I gave my fingers a little freedom.
I would like to thank the readers from the West (primarily Europe, the USA), because each of them is now helping us defeat the aggressor on the battlefield.
We have to survive these difficult times together, we are already doing it.
When will dawn come? And will he be at all?
Wait and see.
Victory is ours.
I know this for sure.
