On February 24, the four-year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the author reflects on the conflict from both personal and political perspectives. Having been born in Russia and raised in Canada, they express strong support for Ukraine, labeling the invasion a criminal act rather than a complex situation where both sides share blame. The author critiques two main justifications often presented for Russia's actions: the need for security against NATO and the alleged oppression of Russian speakers in Ukraine. They argue that these claims cannot excuse the brutality witnessed in 2022, pointing out that Ukraine has made significant progress in various areas over the past decade, while Russia has regressed under increasing repression and imperialism. The piece emphasizes the stark contrast between the two nations' military actions. The author cites specific incidents, like the attack on the theater in Mariupol, to highlight the humanitarian consequences of Russia's military tactics. They argue that Ukrainian military actions, such as drone strikes on military infrastructure, primarily target combatants and not civilians. Statistical comparisons show that civilian casualties in Russia due to the war are minimal compared to the devastation inflicted by Russian forces on Ukraine. The author concludes that recognizing and naming the aggression is essential for fostering a world that resists evil and promotes accountability, stressing the need for collective action against such injustices.
