Also Tragic that we, Ukrainians, are blamed for defending our children from the Russian terrorist regime…

Ukrainians criticised for not giving up the hope of being a free nation

For having the courage to request military aid, which is the only way to stop Russian aggression…

That's so tragic! Everyone is a peacemaker - and we - Ukrainians are “war gold diggers “

We are still standing but thanks to the peacemaker I don't know for how long

That's a bit harsh. Balticum, Poland, and Scandinavian are 100 behind you with money and weapons. Unfortunately we are rather small countries, it would be nice if some of the bigger ones also stepped up.

I totally get she is pissed that most European countries aren't truly backing Ukraine's fight for freedom.
When you see contributions like €39 from Ireland or €29 from Italy, it's honestly embarrassing.
Especially when the Baltic countries — Small economies with low-income populations — are giving €600 to €900 per person, and Norway tops the list with around €1,200 per citizen.

So gratitude towards those who help and shame towards those who don't.

Except for the Israel-Palestine conflict, which has been adopted as a pet conflict by a lot of people since the 60s, usually the farther a country from a conflict, the less involved its people feel. I don’t think Baltic countries care much for conflicts ravaging some African countries. I am not saying it is right, just understandable.
