The thread reflects on the four-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The author emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukraine on this date, arguing that the country requires substantial assistance to defend itself and alleviate human suffering caused by Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure. The author, who has Russian roots but grew up in Canada, examines the conflict from both internal and external perspectives. They critique the notion that the war is a complex situation with blame on both sides, asserting instead that Russia's actions represent a clear act of aggression. In the first part, the author refutes two common justifications for Russia's invasion: the claim of Russia's right to ensure its security by preventing NATO's expansion and the argument that Ukraine mistreated Russian-speaking populations in Crimea and Donbas. They argue that while mistakes were made by both sides in the past, these do not justify the war initiated in 2022. The author notes that, over the past decade, Ukraine has made significant reforms, while Russia has seen increasing repression under Putin. They highlight the absurdity of Russia's aggression, which has resulted in widespread suffering and destruction across Ukraine. The author also contrasts the actions of Ukrainian and Russian forces, portraying Ukraine's military operations as targeted against military infrastructure rather than civilians. They cite specific incidents, such as the attack on the Russian cruiser Moskva and the bombing of Mariupol's theater, to illustrate the different approaches of the two militaries. The author maintains that acknowledging the nature of the conflict is vital for understanding the moral implications and for fostering a genuine push against the aggression. Overall, the piece presents a strong argument for unequivocal support for Ukraine and a clear condemnation of Russia's military actions.
