- Ukrainian’s shock offensive on Russia’s Kursk region came as a surprise even to Ukraine’s soldiers.
- “We joked that it wasn’t April 1st,” a Ukrainian soldier told The Economist.
- The country’s troops did suspect that an invasion was imminent after they were issued new equipment.
Message for the downvoters since there’s quite many: I don’t wish anyone to experience the horrors of war, when it inevitably happens remember that you stood for it.
Sometimes people have no choice, war must happen at times. Until Russia, the ones who started and continue to perpetuate this war back out, then this war invasion is highly justified from a moral standpoint.
No one here stands for war. They stand for Ukraine defending itself, which you seem to have some strange issue with.
Russia did not give the Ukrainian people much alternative while they stole land, killed their friends and family and kept lying about it all. No one wishes for war, but you cannot appease a bully indefinitely.
And I stood on the right side.
Going to war to kill evil invaders is not bad.
Invading an innocent country and killing their civilians is.
