That being said, I have been following this war from the very first moment and I check on current events (from 5 different sources at the same time) almost hourly. I am deeply saddened that this is happening and I can't imagine being in the shoes of those people displaced by or having to fight a war.
Russia is bad? I don't think so, I don't think the entire country can be labeled as such. Putin however... I think that man belongs to the very frontline in an armored vehicle without gas to drive.
The carefully crafted ways of the russian propaganda are really effective, I see how effective it is in my own country, Hungary. Orban is using the same method, create a common enemy, create an us vs them situation and present himself as the savior. No wonder Putin and Orban are best buddies. Many people, especially people who don't have access to a variety of news sources or receive a one-sided education regarding historical issues, tend to be susceptible to believing everything that is being told to them.
Anyway... Ukraine has to win this war, or the very least hold out until a peace treaty is signed, I don't think they will managed to re-capture old territory or even the currently heavily occupied ones, I just hope they remain Ukraine and I hope they will be part of EU as soon as possible so we can help them rebuild their country.
