Yes, it pisses me off endlessly my country has repeatedly refused to actually move the needle on this war, it has subjected Ukraine to a general human rights crisis this winter and yet my government still condescends Ukraine.

I want to emphasize something though, this was the hardest winter by far in large part because russia has begun to resort more and more to straight up unambiguous terrorism against the Ukrainian civilian population.

You HAVE to remember to ask why they are doing so, and the answer as it always is with those who resort to acts of terrorism is because they are too weak to fight a traditional war. Russia is using guerilla warfare tactics (in an utterly unethical way) while still trying to convince everyone it is capable of fighting a traditional war.

This isn't to minimize anything here, I am pointing out why the dynamic has changed and what that indicates, not minimizing how incredibly difficult this all is.
