I came here because I felt a desire in my heart to support Ukraine. I wanted to do the right thing — to support a country that was attacked by an aggressor. Those who support Russia — support an unjust and aggressive war. The aggressor always remains the aggressor.
I believe that Ukraine won this war from the very beginning. It was primarily a moral victory, because Ukraine defended itself and was not the aggressor.
Instead, Russia is an aggressor state that attacked, counting on the fact that Ukraine is smaller and does not have enough strength to defend itself. In Russia, they thought that in less than a month they would take control of Ukraine. But this did not happen. Instead, the Russians had to turn to other states for help, in particular North Korea, which provided the Russians with weapons and even its troops. But even despite this, Russia has not been able to break the Ukrainian resistance for more than three years.
Given all this, I believe that Russia was doomed to defeat from the moment it started this war of aggression.
Russia does not comply with international humanitarian law, because it attacks civilians and civilian infrastructure. Ukraine, on the other hand, complies with the rules of war. It respects the lives of prisoners of war, regardless of whether they are Russian or foreign. Unlike Russia, which does not.
