Don't pray for us, fight with us!
Будь ласка, поширте цей геніальний текст серед усіх політиків і громадян ЄС, яких знаєте.
"Don't pray for us, fight with us.
Russia is attacking Ukraine from the East, from the North, and from the South. The threat comes from the land, sea and air.
The front line now is almost 6000 km long. It's longer than the distance from New York to Los Angels and almost as twice long as from Warsaw to Lisbon.
One should not be a math champ to estimate the amount of human resources, weapon, and ammunition required to withstand the scale of aggression. And today only military power matters.
Name me the army that can deter such a threat alone...
It means that all concerns, prayers, and even sanctions for now are either obsolete or manifest political hypocrisy.
Standing with Ukrainian people these hours and days means fighting with Ukrainian people.
If someone declare that values matter, that Russia is evil, and abandon those who are standing alone for values against 6000 km long evil, building fences behind our backs, than something is wrong here. Than it's not about values or evil, but of pragmatic interest.
And if you choose the interest you are choosing 6000 km front line though on your land in foreseeable future. Don't thank me for this insight- the history is the proof."
Oksana Syroyid, Vice Speaker of the Ukrainian Perliament (2014-2019).
