What about the East and West divide? What about “If you don’t jump, you’re a Moskal”? What about the fact that even before 2014, you were saying that people from eastern Ukraine weren’t real people, that we had “dirty blood”?
What about the people murdered in Odesa in 2014? There were no terrifying Russian soldiers there. There were old, overweight women burned alive. In 2022, some of the girls involved in those killings were bragging on Twitter that they were never punished for it. There were even photos young women making Molotov cocktails for fun, just to burn old ladies alive.
What about “Cut off Crimea”? When you wanted your own fellow citizens to live without electricity, water, or basic utilities.
I was born in Donetsk. I never left. And no, you are not just innocent victims. You are just as monstrous as the Russian government. You either didn’t care or openly celebrated the war in the east after 2014. But the moment the war reached you, suddenly you started screaming.
And then there’s the ideological garbage. How are you any better than Russia? Worshipping fascists? Same thing. Killing innocent people? Same thing. Nationalism and hatred? Same thing.
I know the soft, sheltered Western liberals believe you. And I know they’re so naïve that it may take years, maybe generations before they finally realize what you really are: cruel, bloodthirsty people capable of the exact same horrors you accuse others of.
Here is a classic repeating of standard kremlin talking points that completely flip reality. And I know this so well , because I have lived through all of this, I have experienced the life in the Ussr, I remember how Ukraine became independent, I know Crimea, because my grandparents lived there, I remember all the revolutions and wars (in 2014 and in 2022). So let's get to your points.
What about the East and West divide? What about “If you don’t jump, you’re a Moskal”? What about the fact that even before 2014, you were saying that people from eastern Ukraine weren’t real people, that we had “dirty blood”?
The "East vs. West" divide was weaponized and heavily amplified by Russian political technologists (during the 2004 and 2010 elections). The infamous "Three Sorts of Ukrainians" political poster was a deliberate psychological operation designed to split the country into regional factions for political gain.
The phrase "Who doesn't jump is a Moskal" originated as a lighthearted football/protest chant (similar to chants used across Europe) to keep warm and build solidarity during peaceful protests. It was never a state doctrine, nor did it call for violence. Ironically, russia is the state that has historically oppressed Ukrainians, implemented the man-made famine that killed millions, and systematically executed Ukrainian artists, writers, and poets during the Stalinist purges (the Executed Renaissance). For the russian state to suddenly act "offended" by a protest chant while erasing Ukrainian culture and lives for centuries is the height of hypocrisy.
The claim of "dirty blood" is a fabrication. Ukraine has never had laws, political platforms, or mainstream social movements promoting racial purity or blood-based discrimination.
What about the people murdered in Odesa in 2014? There were no terrifying Russian soldiers there. There were old, overweight women burned alive...
Independent investigations (including those by the Council of Europe and the UN) confirmed that the violence in Odesa on May 2, 2014, was ignited by armed pro-russian provocateurs who attacked a peaceful march of Ukrainian football fans and citizens.
The tragic fire at the Trade Unions House was a chaotic disaster, not a planned execution. It was a horrific accident caused by urban street warfare instigated by russian-backed actors, not a targeted campaign to "burn old ladies alive."
russian state media immediately weaponized this tragedy, inventing gruesome details to dehumanize Ukrainians and recruit fighters for the war in the Donbas.
What about “Cut off Crimea”? When you wanted your own fellow citizens to live without electricity, water, or basic utilities.
Crimea was illegally occupied by the russian military in February 2014. Under international law (specifically the Fourth Geneva Convention), the occupying power (russia) bears full legal responsibility for the civilian population, including providing water, electricity, and resources.
Ukraine was under no obligation to supply resources to a hostile military force that had just stolen its territory at gunpoint. Cutting off utilities was a non-violent, defensive measure to increase the logistical cost of occupation for the Russian military, which was using Crimea as a massive army base.
The Myth of the "8-Year Bombing": Ukraine did not randomly attack Donetsk. In 2014, russian operatives led by Igor Girkin (a former FSB officer) crossed the border, seized government buildings, and started an armed conflict. Ukraine launched an Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) to defend its sovereign territory.
According to the United Nations, civilian casualties in the Donbas had dropped dramatically by 2021 (with 18 civilian deaths recorded that year, mostly from landmines). The war was effectively frozen until Russia launched a catastrophic, full-scale invasion in 2022.
How are you any better than Russia? Worshipping fascists?... cruel, bloodthirsty people capable of the exact same horrors...
This is a classic "whataboutism" tactic designed to blur the line between the aggressor and the victim. Russia is an authoritarian state that launched an unprovoked, full-scale war of conquest, committed documented war crimes (Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol), and openly calls for the eradication of the Ukrainian state. Ukraine is a democracy defending its existence.
Far-right parties in Ukraine have consistently failed to win even 2% of the vote in democratic elections, far lower than in many Western European countries. Ukraine’s president is Jewish, and the country is united by civic nationalism (defending freedom and democracy), not ethnic hatred.
Western support is not based on "naivety," but on international law, satellite intelligence, and the clear reality of who crossed whose borders with tanks.
It was russia that artificially divided Ukraine into 'sorts' of people, russia that occupied Crimea and forced a response, and russia that orchestrated the tragedies in Odesa and Donetsk to justify an unprovoked war of aggression."
So russia should suffer and pay for everything. And I am not going to stop screaming about this!
