The piece reflects on the ongoing war in Ukraine, marking the anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion. The author expresses strong support for Ukraine, framing the conflict as a criminal act of aggression rather than a complex situation with blame on both sides. They emphasize that Ukraine has made significant progress over the past decade, while Russia has escalated repression under Putin. The author argues that historical grievances and security concerns cannot justify Russia's actions, especially given the scale of the violence witnessed since 2022. Two main points are outlined: first, the justification for Russia's invasion, which hinges on security concerns and alleged rights violations against Russian speakers in Ukraine, is dismissed as inadequate. The author critiques the narrative that both sides are equally culpable, pointing out that Russia's military strategy involves widespread attacks on civilian infrastructure rather than targeted operations. They highlight specific incidents, such as the bombing of a theater in Mariupol, to illustrate the humanitarian crisis resulting from Russian actions. In the second part, the author discusses the future of Russia and Ukraine, suggesting that concepts like decentralization and digital democracy could play a role in shaping a more positive outcome. They assert that recognizing and naming the evil behind the war is essential for building a better world and mobilizing against it. The piece culminates in a call for clarity and action against the aggression, contrasting the Ukrainian military's focus on military targets with the Russian army's attacks on civilians.
