Did the war in Ukraine come as a shock to your country?

Anyone who understand politics and have common sense, knew since Majdan that this will happen sooner or later.

I despise Russians, but fully understand their invasion.

NATO gave Russia guarantees they wont move more towards east, since then Baltic countries and western Slavic countries joined NATO. Bascially alot of countries bordering around Russia which are situated in Asia are already full of NATO managed bases. I wouldn't be really happy if someone was building bases around my wall.

Also people seem to forget that Ukrainains are known to be prone to corruption which is highest in Europe. Since 2012 they couldn't choose sides and basically their politicians have been taking bribes from west and Russia. This is not how you play the game.

Strenght to Ukrainian civilians your politicians again sold you.
