As a Lithuanian I can say, we are hustling to help as much as we can, politically, militarily and even as civilian initiatives like fundraising for Bayraktar drone and the recent one for radars in which we gathered 14M euros. I know 🇱🇹 is not the biggest country and our help could look not so significant but if you count per capita it ends up as huge. And we won’t stop our help to a friends in 🇺🇦.
🇱🇹 🇺🇦 🇪🇺
Thank you! 💙💛 We feel you help and support! 🫂
Your help probably turned golden wipes for some corrupt guy in Ukraine
@@hellgates_javed6451 mind your own business. No help goes as money, all aid is various military and civilian equipments.
@@ZhylvisLT military and civilian equipment that can be sold in the black market for money what kind of argument is that?

I think "Slovačina" is Slovakia, not Slovenia. But it doesn't matter, both countries are trying to help.
Yes, he meant Slovakia. But it's nice to see our country mentioned, even if it's by mistake. Among other things, we have donated some older but upgraded tanks, ambulances, electrical generators and some equipment for the Ukrainians to rebuild their electricity infrastructure.
@@hhKJgf1M8a0rzt8hP That's cool 👍
As an American, I wish we were doing even more for Ukraine, but want to send some ❤️ to the Baltics (Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia) and Poland for everything they do every day for Ukraine. Amazing countries - I see you, and I respect you tremendously 🙏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 American hipocracy at its best
😂
No we dont.
Yea doing proxy wars all over the globe and getting into everyone’s business is what the USA does best
@@theowl2044 Oh but we do. The majority at least.
Having known people from the Baltics and Poland, their assistance to Ukraine springs from more than a dislike of Russian and a fear of Russian expansionism. As they know what it is like to experience communist totalitarianism, they truly believe in freedom and democracy.
Ukraine is not a free country, nor are they a democracy. The baltic dwarf states just have a problem with russophobia.
@@eliasziad7864 your comment is just a representation of fascism
Two of the Baltic states didnt even exist before Russian imperialism...they were just various ethnic groups under German or Swedish control. Poland and Lithuania came under Russian control because they kept attacking Russian lands, including White and Little Russia and then losing.
@@mitchyoung93 Exactly!
@@Golden-lviv какой тут фашизм это балты которые русских в правах ограничивают и с факельными шествиями ходят фашисты
Regarding self interest sure that is there but I do hope Ukraine realizes that the rest of Europe bound together in NATO is perfectly safe without Ukraine. Any agression against Poland, Estland etc would trigger all NATO armies in total. So yes there is self interest but there is also a LOT of empathy and willingness help and pay the price for that . I know myself of people that went to Ukraine to help without pay and there are thousands right now that do the same. Dont underestimate the passion of doing the right thing in western europe (can only speak for them, theres lots of other countries). Or think about all the Georgians that are dying for your country right now without getting anything back.
Well stated.
I believe most coutries are trying to help because they know very well how it is being invaded by the russians.
0:30 - "They help because if evil is not punished then evil will move on. It will be strengthened and spread more and more."
First volunteers welcomed Ukrainian refugees the very first day of war at the Polish border.
I don't think they'd a geo-politic interest in mind, nor time to analyse the situation.
As a Lithuanian self-interest comes as if Ukraine loses we will be next(roughly speaking), but it's much more than that. Before the war in 2014 we were close friends and supporters of each other, after that and now we are brothers and sisters.

@@michaelcarey9359 he's a troll, don't react. Just report
From a Polish perspective... Why are we helping Ukrainians? Because they want nothing but peace, freedom and prosperity. Just like Poles always wanted and struggled to get it. Because they were attacked and they are defending their country. Something we had to do multiple times and we respect everyone who is willing to die for his country. Because we experienced Russian "liberation" and we would not wish it upon our worst enemies. And most of all... Because we are brothers. Brothers who had pretty major disagreement and spilled a lot of blood but also brothers who will not let other brother get bullied.
And becouse they are White worker people rigth?
Long live Ukraine! Greetings from Finland!
I personally don't want to support a fascist state.
i will invade kiev with a Rus tank (t72) and i will liberate kiev from nazi german occupation
Thank you
The thing I noticed is how much more the Ukrainians are aware of the situation, and have drawn their own conclusions. They are also able to articulate them. I see almost none of these traits in interviews of Russians.
Well, Russians have to choose their words carefully. Some are just stupid, of course.
Because nowadays public expression of your opinion can cost a life in Russia.
Russians, are simply not free to speak right now.
I really like what you do to the channel..... Thank you showing all the voices... Regardless of all biases on right, left, center.. thank you
I appreciate that
The girl who says the west helps because its profitable. The help being sent is billions and billions of taxpayers money. Many companies left the Russian market.
Cutting ourselves off from Russian energy is directly hurting our wallets.. Companies and private citizens alike.
The profitable thing would have been to let Russia have its way with Ukraine. I happily pay my high electricity bill (gets cold in Winter here in Sweden) and I am glad that the west stood together with Ukraine and did not value our wallets higher than human life. The west should stand with Ukraine no matter the cost or how long it takes
Hopefully we can also stop the Uyghur genocide that's happening in China
These are regular people.
We must not forget that these people do not have diplomas in international relations and have no special knowledge on this which may surprise some, but this is the case in every country you will get dumb answers on foreign affairs.
@@karlheven8328 I hope you're right. I hated having to believe that all the effort we are putting in is unwelcome, or misinterpreted.
“profitable” translation is wrong, she said “that benefits them” and then talked how they want to restore world order and economics.
agree
As a Ukrainian, I am ashamed of some of the answers, I can only thank everyone who helps us, without your help it would be much more difficult
The poison of Russia runs deep, even in the people they abuse.
Some people are really suspicious and cynic on everything but I don't think it is the case of this war. Believe me, if we wanted to do our interest we wpuld have cultivated ties with Russia and left Ukraine alone. We had great difficulties on bills renouncing to cheap russia resources. Despite being strong and faithful to our idea of democracy, we know we are risking a third wolrd war with Russia. But we are also really disappointed.we believed Russia was nevermore a threat and the weak motivations by Putin led us to our great shock of aknowledging of russky mir and the return of soviet/tsatist imperialism. It is understood ukraine was only the first step,then moldova,georgiA, POLAND and BALTICS. Warships and submarines in the mediterrean. Being ruled by a backward autocracy that stole everything and kill everyone who disagree? The west has a lot of problems but surely much better than russia.
This would remind me of Africans on the brink of starvation being interviewed why countries donate food aid. Because it’s in their interests. WTF? Every time our country provides aid to another it means less money spent on hospitals, elderly care, housing for homeless ect. I have no,issue helping those in need. But those who say it’s in our interest is like being spat on. Just remember whose destroying your country and killing your people. It’s not the ones helping you.
Don´t be, I understand the frustration. Greetings from Norvay, slava Ukraine
I like that they answer with honesty. There is space for opinions to be shared, and ideas debated. Sometimes people even change their perspective, but that never happens if no one speaks. No one will stop helping because people spoke their minds: that is not what real civilizations are about. ( Also, I think after the exposure to "rusky mir" that I would be very suspicious of anyone who claimed to help selflessly too.)
As an Ukrainian I want to say huge thanks for every person and for every country that help us and support us, even not military, but humanitarian aid too. We really never forget your help.
But we are upset by the situation with Hungary and Georgia, which once suffered from Russia, and now chose its side. We understand that democracy is an expression of your thoughts as you think, but when it comes to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, it is worth considering which side to choose, the side of the killer and rapist or the side of the victim. (I know that there are quite a few people in Georgia and Hungary who are against the war, but it is a pity that most people from these countries support the actions of their government).
No mercy for Banderites.
We American people are upset of our government sending money 2in Kreg instead of going to East Palestine Ohio to take care of that train derailment are instead of giving dead of giving Ukraine money how about give government United States not taking care of the American people. The fake President Joe Biden he flew to Ukraine instead of going to East Palestine Ohio talk to American people give disaster relief for but you have to give 85 billion dollars Ukraine. So we Americans don't care about Ukraine because we stopped caring a long time ago because our elected officials don't even care about the American people that the only care about poking poking poking the Bear in Russia and most of those old ass bastards are the US government are baby boomers
@@mcrobielord1503 lol, hey Ivan if you're going to try and troll. You may want to learn how to speak English properly lol. Also maybe you should be blaming your republican government who cut all safety and maintenance regulations so the corporations could make more profits. Also get those companies to pay for the mess they caused. Funny how the party of "personal responsibility" won't take any responsibility in what they caused.
@@Jack-zf3rz first of all I'm not Republican or a Democrat I'm an anarchist I'd believed government should not exist. I believe humans are better off without no government let them do whatever they want
В Украине 8 тысяч мирнхы жертв по данным ООН какие сотни тысяч? И да вам помогают только промытые люди и те кто хотят ослабить Россию и заработывают на этом
Most mention Baltics, but nobody mentions Finland :D As a Finn I understand though.. our help seems insignificant. But actually, Per Capita, we sent more help than USA or UK. Estonia is sending more, but we are right there behind Estonia. Also we are doing it without NATO protection. Finland feels strongly about Ukraine, because in 1939 the same happened to us
Also, the contents of Finnish weapon shipments (there has been 13 in total) is not publicized, because we don't want Putin to know what weapons we are now missing. So it's understandable that most people don't even know much about it... anyway, Slava Ukraini!
A lot of the respondents said their allies have their own interests when they help Ukraine. You can also add 'Because we care'. 'Because we believe in Democracy',etc, etc. I have personally donated money to Ukraine so some opinions are disheartening.
I think they were referring to the government, not individual citizens. Of course, the US, for instance, has skin in the game here, but it doesn’t diminish the great support of the American people for Ukrainians. Ordinary Americans support Ukrainians just because they believe in freedom and democracy, but the government wouldn’t be supportive if it wasn’t for financial/geopolitical reasons.
It is indeed disappointing. I think a belief that Europe and America have an ulterior motive in helping Ukraine is the legacy of Soviet thinking. It is not uncommon in Eastern Europe to encounter people who think that Westerners are materialistic, psychologically cold, selfish and decadent. Apparently, the West has money but the East has a soul.
Nah there ignorant
They were begging for the west to help them. Then they said we were not doing enough. Of course we should help, but now they say we have our own interests for helping. We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. My heart goes out to the Ukrainians but give us a little gratitude.
@@kbecker9971 we are very grateful for your help. Thank you!
More support for Ukraine🇱🇻💪🇺🇦
It’s heartbreaking. Russia: see these people…. Russian speakers. Who brutalised them? Unfortunately, it was You!
They are indeed Russian speakers. But some Russian speakers no longer wished to live under Kiev's rule, and they have been brutalized for nine years now. By Kiev.
Peace, Power and Prayers from Northern Illinois. SLAVA GOD SLAVA UKRAINI 🙏🇺🇦
As a Dutchman let me answer the question why countries are helping Ukraine.
1. The similarity in the rhetoric of Russia and Nazi-Germany when it annexed Czechoslovakia in 1938 and it invaded Poland in 1939. It shows the nature of Russia, and we don't want that in Europe.
2. The atrocities committed by Russia in Ukraine. Bucha was an eye opener for many people, and led to much moral outrage. Unfortunately, this was not a single case, but was followed by many atrocities, too many to list them here.
3. The heroism of the Ukrainian people. Yes, Ukrainians you impressed us!
4. Self interest. Maintaining the world order is in everybody's interest. We do not want autocratic countries like Russia and China to set the tone.
5. For Europeans: we have had so many wars in our history, we don't want that anymore. Respect of each other's borders, without having to think how they were historically, is an important element to keep the peace. Anyway, with free trade and travel in the EU, it does not matter too much how these borders are drawn.
So, it is a combination of factors. The moral outrage is an important factor why support for Ukraine will continue among large parts of our populations.
As a german, I can say that we are helping Ukraine because we know that what Russia is doing is wrong! Especially after WW1 and WW2, we know what is wrong and what is right. Unfortunately, not all my fellow germans know what is wrong and what is right (some don't want to supply weapons and these people don't know how important weapons are for the defence of Ukraine).
👍
@@karlheven8328 germans should understend there is only way out of this...and it is millitary support. I dont know if it ends in stalemate or some kind of win-win as i think that is best outcome, e.g. diplomacy, but until then there is no way out, russia would not stop on the borders of ukraine, their influence will only grow afterwards, as they are very good propagandists. Even tho i kind of agree that putin was quite transparent wth his intentions, motives and could be even right their country is fragile and only way out is expansionism as they always did. burn the land and conquer and push masses in front of GRU agents who shot anybody turning back. Its their survival strategy so if you understand that then you must understand that how far they reach is only a matter of support of Ukraine. If ukraine falls they would build puppet state there and pretend that ukrainians attack on nato country, they dont give shit, they would follow from ukrainian terrytory and push their nazi narrative. Lot of people would buy it political specrum would side Russia and its an end of EU. It will be quick and surprising. Most probably a born of a real nazism in europe will follow.
Why western countries help Ukraine? Because it was the right thing to do. To help a country in need. Basic human rights for all and no war. Russia really should start finally understand to stay in their OWN country.
The West have their own imperialistic purposes that's why they're helping them, you are too naive lol
Ukrainian street talk is 🔥. More plz!

All valid reasons. I also think that support is given “differently” depending on whether you’re a government of a country or a citizen of it. This is neither bad nor divisive as both work together, and is a result of perspective. Governments look more towards the “big picture”; geopolitics, economies etc because that is their primary job. Individuals look at it from a more personal perspective; the protection of individuals, relief of suffering, standing up to overwhelming injustice etc.
For me, it's definitely Litva, Latvia, and Estonia. Firstly, then it would be Poland, of course , then US and UK . Also, Canada and the rest of the EU,except Hungary and Serbia
Turkey is a special country for me right now because, on the one hand, they gave us first help ,but on the other, not being certain their side ,I guess its their politic way, about witch sometimes I'm not sure
Also, all the prays to Turkey, they helped us,and now this is a horrible earthquake 😨
I must say that Japan and Taiwan are the most supportive Asian countries for sure
And somehow, everyone forgot about Australia they are humble and gave us a lot of military help, although being so far away
Greetings from Estonia. Wish you all the best. And please take care of all the dogs who have been left behind in Ukraine in the middle of that war. Estonians have also donated quite a lot of money for them, hope that has helped.

I want to add that this is an attitude to the government of countries, not to citizens. I know how many support us, thank you very much
I support Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 from Germany.
As a German I think we should be slightly higher up the list given our will to send tanks and around 7 billion of total bilateral commitments vs UK 8 billion but I agree we all have to do more in Europe and certainly the Baltic countries and Poland have done more on a per capita or per GDP basis (not to speak of UK), not to speak of US.

I think it's a bit unfair to call out self interest as the main allied nations motivation. Sure, self interest is a necessary part of it, no nation would go against its own good to favor another one. Ukraine itself would do, and does, the same. All nations operate like that. But if the West wasn't morally invested in the preservation of Ukrainian democracy and freedom, we wouldn't be here.
It is in the EU best interest to have a free and democratic Ukraine at its borders? Of course. I don't see how this diminishes what the Union is doing to support them.

1:53 Very intelligent man.... would like to hear more from him.
What's interesting to me as an American watching this video is it seems that many Ukrainians dont consider themselves as "part of Europe"
When talking about Europe, they seem to talk about Europe as if its a completely seperate entity from themselves.
I think this is old - style thinking... Ukraine is on the fast track to EU membership as we speak.. even one day hopefully joining NATO as well..
So as an American... I consider Ukraine as part of Europe already.
I really hope Europe can stay together. It sounds like there's some mistrust among some countries in Europe.. centuries of war can do that I know..but you guys are neighbors wether you like it or not... all aboard the same ship. Imagine how strong a United Europe can be?
Putin wants Europe divided..weak.. and scattered. Rise together.. or sink as one.
I didn't get that at all. Ukrainians have considered themselves European for a long time. They were also the first eastern European country to form a democratically elected government in the 20s after the fall of the empire. And Ukrainians have huge connections to the weat as well. They were able to see and hear stories of western democracy and culture fork their family living and settling abroad. My family came to Canada during the first migration in 1896.

As a Brit I personal support the Ukaraine because every person deserves freedom. If it is Kuwaities, Ukarainians or whoever asks for it. Freedom, tea and democracy. Slava UA.
As a German I feel not guilty at all for Ukraine. I was not born when the brutal history happened during WWII.
But I'm sure that Putin must be stopped, because he will go forward when Ukarine will fall. I have VERY GREAT respect for the brave people in Ukraine. They are fighting for their freedom and we have to support them!
When the war is over I want to visit this country and the people there. I hope that European companies will invest there and the whole EU will help building up a strong, democratic and free Ukraine after this ugly war of aggression!

hi from Texas - interesting answers - I dont understand of course but I noticed from vidoes that Ukranian language is more quiet and smooth to listen vs Russion which seems rather harsh to listen - but that could be just the people being interviewed
you have correctly noticed. the Ukrainian language is more receptive to sound and melodious. the Russian language sounds as if stones have been put in the mouth and are being chattered about.
As a Ukrainian, I view the UK as my biggest ally because support for Ukraine is simply universal there across the entire political spectrum (from the far-left to conservatives). Only some very fringe activists like some Corbyn supporters dislike Ukraine. The UK also was the first country to start training Ukrainian troops and the first country to supply us with anti-tank missiles, tanks and (reportedly) long-range missiles. While the U.S. delivered much more military aid, it unfortunately has a lot of anti-Ukraine people from the Republican Party (Trump supporters). I keep seeing tons of anti-Ukraine hate from them, so it’s hard to view the U.S. as your number one ally when a significant segment of the population despises you. However, I am immensely grateful to US liberals and neoconservatives who keep supporting Ukraine.
Saying a "significant segment" despises you is not only false but straight up misinformation.
@@johnathonbrimleyNo, it's true. As an American I see plenty of Americans buying into Putin's genocidal rhetoric and it's heartbreaking, but not surprising since the rise of Trump

@@Mumek21 yes, Poland is definitely in the top five alongside the Baltic states. I was just referring to G7 countries.
@@johnathonbrimley it’s true. I keep seeing tons of anti-Ukraine hate from them. And it’s not just bots. I recently hosted a VR room for Ukraine and all of the anti-Ukraine people were mostly Trump supporters with distinct American accents. The fact that Trump himself and his bastard son despise Ukraine doesn’t help.
Thanks!
Thank you for the support
As an American, I'd say we help Ukraine because we want lasting peace and we can see that Ukraine is not the aggressor. As far as our own selfish interests, it is true that we would not want to see another "evil empire" forming, such as the former Soviet Union.
Still, from this side of the ocean, we see a lot of downsides and risks to offset any ulterior goals. For example, the war worsens the already struggling economy, and the enormous expense comes at a time when we are already spending our grandchildren's money. The worst issue is the high risk of escalation, American troops becoming involved as American soldiers die overseas and, of course, the ever-present threat of nuclear or other WMDs.
We do NOT see this as an excuse to hurt Russia. Every American would love to see this war end. If you think we were looking for an excuse to torment Russia, then why did we do so little when Russia "annexed" Crimea and sunk two big bear paws onto Georgian land?
America is naturally isolationist and we see huge losses and huge risks. The main reason we are involved is the simplest reason: It is the right thing to do. That is a powerful force.
All of the free world is with you Ukraine, all of us.
You are heroes fighting for your freedom and families against a brutal dictator and you will win.

The United States pledged $50.9 billion in military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine between the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022 and November 20. Data from the Ukraine Support Tracker shows that, as a single country, the U.S. has provided by far the most aid to Ukraine, followed by EU institutions ($37.2 billion), the UK ($7.5 billion), Germany ($5.8 billion) and Canada ($5.1 billion).
I agree, if it wasn't for the support from USA, putler would already be on the Polish border. We here in Europe have for far too long neglected the security of our continent.
Poland 8.5 billion
Poland is poorer than Germany is and Poland gave to Ukraine more in % to its GPD... I am proud of my country.
@voyageur And has taken in almost 1.5 million Ukrainian refugees. You're right to be proud of Poland.
But you have to count EU aid within each country. For instance the PFF which refunds donations to Ukraine to more than 10 billin is directly financed by Member states. Its easy to understand that if a country like france has less compatible material for Ukraine than does Germany, the US or UK, it will be lower in military donations. Germany and France and Italy coount for 50% of the PFF . So totalling what a country like france financed as weapons for Ukraine is higher than the UK

Poland is also a baltic country for those who don't know.
As a Pole, I can write the most important reasons why we are helping Ukraine:
1. Moral duty in the face of injustice.
2. To spite Russia.
3. To spite Germany.
4. To protect the Baltic states which would be the victim of another invasion.
5. to spite Russia.
6. to take care of our own security (not special, no one believed Putin would attack Poland).
7. to spite Germany.

9. to please USA.

@@tayloryoung9803 Sure, Germany bet on Ukraine's quick defeat.
As an American I sometimes make the "it's in our interest..." argument to my fellows who wonder why we are doing this. But for me personally it really comes down to two things.
One is that this is a matter of right and wrong. Most wars are muddy, nuanced things, where it can be hard to say whether one side or the other is in the right (usually both sides are mostly wrong). That is not the case here. Ukraine was minding it's own business when Russia attacked them, committing atrocities wherever they went and proclaiming it's intention to commit genocide against the Ukrainian people. This is a morally clear situation. Ukraine is in the right, Russia in the wrong.
Another reason is that I had the opportunity, many decades ago, to visit Kyiv when it was still part of the Soviet Union. I came away thinking that Kyiv was the most beautiful city in the world. When Chornobyl happened my heart wept for the people of Kyiv. It pained me to think of fallout falling upon such an extraordinary place. And now it is bombs that fall on that special city, and it pains me to think of this.
Well... the list is very long. And for very good reasons.
Finland and Sweden broke their neutrality when sending military aid to Ukraine and are just 15million citizens strong… that should not be possible to forget…and just like Ukraine they wasn’t members in NATO and Sweden still ain’t!

it shows how people of ukraine are so ignorant about the matter, even though they are the people of interest. look at them, they barely know what countries help them. they dont even have a clue why they are getting all that help! nothing is free, the Nato arent supporting them because they want to protect democracy, not because they are so kind hearted and they want to help people in need. one or two said it right, these coutries have interest they want to protect.
Is amazing that nobody even mentioned Romania and how much we helped them from the begining of the war ! Is forbiden in ukraine to mention Romania or something ?:)))
They only mention what they hear in the news. As American I can say I do not hear alot about Romania.

Hey my dear Romanian brother. It would be amaizing to see Romanian politics shouting at the German and French ignorants to help more... like Poland and the Baltic states do 24/7. xDDD To be honest in Poland I dont hear a lot about Romania. Of course we are conscious that you accepted Ukrainian refugees and you give weapons. And as Pole I love you for that. I will remember my whole life that Romania is my brother country. In my heart there is a big love towards your beautiful nation. And I respect you so much. I think we dont hear a lot of about Romania because Romania works more in silence.

I think that bearded guy has it. It's about the rules-based order. Borders are inviolate without the consent of the countries involved is one of those. This is rarely a black and white line and it's why there was less escalation after Crimea or South Ossetia because there were real questions regarding the will of the people of those areas. An attack on Kiev though was certainly one of those black and white issues. Western Ukraine obviously did not want to be ruled by Russia. There was no question about it. This was a clear violation of the rules-based order and the escalation meant that without a response, the west was essentially saying that it no longer applied. It would have given tacit assent to a Chinese takeover of Taiwan. The West believes that keeping borders inviolate post-WW2 is a key part of maintaining peace in Europe and throughout the world. Peace and stability are good for us all in almost every sense. If Ukraine is able to take back its borders it sends an extremely strong message to every country that the rules don't just exist on paper, but will be enforced. It is a shame that Ukrainians have to pay the price to send this message, but I think that all of us in the West are grateful to them for their sacrifice.
Denmark gave all of their artillery to Ukraine, The Caesars howitzer.... We don't have anything left now. Besides that, Denmark has promissed to rebuild Mykolajiv when Ukraine wins the war.
Other things that has been donated, is the Harpoon missiles, that helps protects the coastline.
We are not afraid of Russia near our border, we help you because what will happen to you when they are here? We do it only for Ukraine to survive, that's our main motivation. During ww2 we only needed weapons but we didn't even have that, in the Warsaw Uprising people went to their deaths without weapons with the intention of getting them from the enemy if we can reduce your tragedy just a little we do
2:47 Im happy for Slovakia (Slovenia is the other country ,bad translate )
Ironically, I think a case can be made that EU, NATO, & the United States are defending Ukraine for more or less the same reason that the RF has attacked it: it is a barrier, a bidirectional shield between those two groups of countries. If the RF takes it over, then its utility as a shield for the EU, etc., is greatly diminished, just as if Ukraine joins or is friendly toward the EU, etc., its utility as a shield for the RF.
Personally, I feel that the Russians' worry about needing a shield is largely unfounded because I can't imagine that the EU, etc., would ever invade the RF militarily. On the other hand, Putin has very clearly shown the world that the same can't be said about worries that the RF might invade Europe. Therefore, the West is unlikely to let Putin win this.
Of course, freedom, morality, international law, and future commercial interests are also involved.
The largest country in Europe, home to almost 40 million people (at least before Putin’s invasion) is a ‘shield’..? It’s a country, not a barrier. Why would EU, NATO, United States want a “bidirectional shield”? The West has constantly and repeatedly tried to engage Russia peacefully in diplomacy and trade (and buying lots of Russian gas), contrary to Putin’s delusions that the West has been out to destroy Russia. And Ukraine as “shield” doesn’t block borders with Russia (and vassal state Belarus) to Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Norway if Russia wanted to invade on a new front.
Russia always wants to dominate puppet regime ‘buffer states’ they claim as their ‘sphere of influence’ due to unique Russian neurotic imperial insecurities-like the Soviet Empire and Warsaw Pact of hostages forced to pretend they were “allies” for half-a-century. And like the state of Belarus today that Ukraine is fighting to avoid becoming.
Conversely all of Soviet Russia’s old Warsaw Pact buffer states raced to apply to join NATO as fast as they could, and Ukraine was trying to do so too (but contrary to Putin’s claims about “aggressive NATO expansion”, as if were an empire, it’s in fact an arduous process for a country to meet high standards to apply for membership and be approved unanimously by all existing members before being allowed into the club).
There is obviously a fundamental difference in how Russia views nations of people as shields and treats countries as nothing but buffer states for their own interests. The Eastern Flank of NATO member states that have joined since 1990 are not treated as expendable shields to protect Western Europe the way Russia treated them in USSR/Warsaw Pact. On the contrary, NATO is committed making those countries’ _borders_ with Russia into secure barriers to prevent the countries from being invaded and reduced to human shields on a Russian warpath.
@@InqvisitorMagnvs I agree there are differences. However, it is extremely common to hear variations on the refrain “if we don't protect Ukraine, then Russia will threaten Western Europe.” I've heard Ukrainians, Poles, and others make this point. In fact, I've even heard Russians suggest or even say outright that they will eventually take over, e.g., Poland and the Baltic states.
I understand that pointing out the parallel eastern and western perspectives may sound like I'm equating them, and I'm not. Something can resemble something else in some way without being identical. In this case, the shields are part of the picture, but not the only part. Russia is motivated by some kind of divine mission to fulfill their destiny of uniting all Slavs in a great Slavic empire (or alternatively, to recreate the Soviet empire), by their paranoid fear of invasion by NATO (the western facing shield), and of course by the prospect of dividing up Ukraine's resources among the oligarchs. Ukraine is motivated by their desire to survive and to remain whole and independent. Europe and the US are motivated by their horror and disgust at Russia's actions, but also by their desire to forestall any future Russian aggression (the eastern facing shield). And, of course, arms manufacturers and dealers around the world are, as always, motivated by greed, and are currently LMAOing all the way to the bank.

Russia donated a lot of military help to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
@@0Cico0 true)
I don't understand why some say it's in the interest of these countries, especially Europe. Fact is that Europe lost a lot of gas,electricity and means of heating and cooking their homes by cutting ties with russia. It would've been easier to say to Russia "we don't care you can have Ukraine" we could've probably even go so far to negotiate for cheaper resources by not assisting Ukraine if we wanted to go full evil and greedy. Helping Ukraine and standing up to Russia was the right thing to do. When I and many other people donates and volunteer to host refugees or fund things for Ukraine military or suplies to for the people there, do so because we want to help, not that we get anything back. I understand that this kind of point of view is not the majority but it's a bit sad to see that they think we only help them because we get something out of it.
As a norwegian, I must say we help as much as we can, remember that it cost the helping countries a lot and we will not stop to help Ukraine until they have driven out the russians.
As a Brit I fully support Ukraine but I also do acknowledge that our government is helping due to their own interest.
Our governments not doing well, when we look who Brits will vote for in the next general election however it’s wildly known the majority of us support Ukraine even if it means it won’t help us so our government is likely trying to use the Ukraine to curry favour with the British public.
That and it be bad for us if Russia wins.
When Boris Johnson was in charge don’t think we all of us didn’t noticed that when he was in trouble he used to run of to Ukraine, as if to say to the British public, look I’m good! I’m helping Ukraine! and we’re like yep good job, so when can we get rid of you? That’s not changing our opinion!
It was like oh this emergency has happened, or this scandal has been revealed, where’s our prime minister? Oh his in Ukraine again?! Come back here and face us!
Though morally I support Ukraine without all that nonsense in my government.
Australia supports you with lethal and non lethal aid, because we believe in every nation’s sovereign right to peace and self determination, and in a rules-based order.

Ukrainian women are so beautiful
Are there many doppelgangers or are the same people are being interviewed on different platforms
They don't see the possibility that we saw the destruction, the bodies of children, and the bound hands of people in mass graves and then wanted to help them, out of compassion and empathy. To them it's only because we want something from them. I can't speak for Europe, but America didn't need anything from them. Some will profit when goods or services are delivered, and I'm sure they are eager for the business, but who is paying? We could never expect them to pay us back. Our gifts far exceed their ability to pay. Most of us just want them to be free from tyranny and to live good lives.
I think it's important to add that the help is coming from the citizens of these allied countries, through the taxes we pay to allow all this support to happen. And it's immensely expensive. So, from Bob in America, YOU'RE WELCOME ! SLAVA UKRAINE !
All good but why some of them say that allies help them to their own interests? can someone explain that ?
if Ukraine loses, the countries of Eastern Europe will be next and all NATO will have to fight. NATO countries do not want to fight. In my country - Estonia, everyone is talking about a possible conflict with Russia and everyone is afraid of it, if we were in another part of the world, then we would definitely help less. There are very interesting statistics - the closer a country is to Ukraine, the more it supplies in % from its budget, because it is more afraid of war. There is no shame in helping out of your own interest.
The west started helping once they realized Ukrainians could fight the Goliath. In my opinion, they should have forced Russia to get out of Crimea in 2014.
We support Ukraine because this is their 1776 💪
There are still many nationalists in Poland and Ukraine who do not like the harmony of our countries due to the difficult past we share.

as a member of slavic tribes i see ukraine as any other slavic nation, our task thru history is always same. defend the borders. we during early history were hunt down, enslaved, traded, sold etc, word slave comes from word slav. we are considered as lower nations, often look down, dissmiesed as all kinds of stuff, hitler called us shait etc. so ukraniens do what we always do when danger comes from east. defend door to europe, same as polish and croats on different sides of europe done when turks were invading. we were last slavic nations and if we felt germany and austria would fall. so west now do what they do since begining of our times.. they arm so nothing happens to west white, thaz why they have slavs, to give them what ever they need and defend door to europe. we always are like last line of denfce, when and if last slav nation falls, doors are breached... so if ukraine fails, next will be poland, czech, slovakia, serbia would surrender volonurely then croatia and if all of those fall, austria, germany and so on is next in line.. ukraniens do their task, given them centuries ago..

The only self-interest I have from Denmark is to see a strong, independent and free Ukraine that can secure the eastern border. But that self-interest pales in comparison to just wanting this evil stopped and realizing that Ukrainians never asked for this, they were brutally assaulted and its the right thing to do. Furthermore, I also feel ashamed as a European that the EU has basically held Ukraine at arms length and never given Ukraine a real path towards European integration - so yes, I also think we could have acted in a way that would have prevented or decreased the scale of the war.
So funny how they all say poland , but poland is the one country who always want money for their help from the Eu or better gear from germany and us, while most of the others dont complain or want something for their help and than there is this one guy, who calls out uk and germany, that they are not allies, bc they "want something"? completly delusional

The US is only helping Ukraine because it was Russia that attacked them. USA will take any opportunity to be against Russia.
But government does not equal population. Americans and europeans, in general, will prefer Ukraine because of how patriotic they are, so a bunch of people end up respecting Ukraine.
In the 1990s we gave our word we'd help defend Ukraine and its right to exist when it agreed to give up its nuclear arms in exchange for Russia respecting Ukraine's right to exist. Russia betrayed its word. The US will not.
Ukraine has a right to exist. Ukraine has a right to cast its own sails and sail in any direction they wish. Moscow miscalculated on how strong they were. The miscalculated on how fierce the Ukranian spirit is and how strong the defenders really are. They miscalculated on how much we would be willing to help you in defending your land and existence. In 2014 we tried diplomatic and economic methods alone, that failed. Since then we've helped train and strengthen our ties.
We didn't do enough in 2014. This time around we've set out to do as much as we can to both weaken the Russian war machine via sanctions and diplomatically pressuring Russia. We've also seen to it you have the items needed to protect yourselves. Personally I think we can do more. We should be sending F-16s. We should be supplying more armored vehicles. More advanced munitions. We've dispatched a great number of troops to Europe, if it wasn't for the nuclear fears we'd have our troops on the front lines. I personally would support doing so even now. But I do not want to see Ukranians being targeted with nuclear or chemical weapons. If that line is ever crossed we'll take a more active role with forces then. That is why Russia hasn't resorted to using them yet.
We all know it wouldn't stop with Ukraine. We all know that guy wants to take it all. He finds whatever convieniant excuse he can to fulfill his evil desires. That's why he's allied with nations that commit genocide against their own populations. That is why he's allied with nations that use biological and chemical weapons on ethnic groups. That's why he aligns himself with totalitarian regimes that rob people of their freedoms and imprisons anyone who speak out against their governments.
He's a criminal with a gun trying to commit strong arm robbery. If he doesn't get it he goes and tries to get a bigger weapon trying to force the world to give him what he wants. It is unfortunate for Ukraine having to have a despot like him on their border.
Fortune favors the brave and the bold, Ukranians are both. Zelensky is the right guy to repesent Ukraine as he also proudly demostrates both and does everything he can by you to secure what's needed to survive and win. A great majority of the world admires your strength, courage, and will to survive as a free people.
I heard a story recently which is both heartwarming and heartbreaking. I forget which town it was, but they were and are facing food shortages. The Russian had mined the forests, so it's dangerous to forage there. Instead if letting their people starve the elders of the community have found the courage to go into the forest regardless to find mushrooms and other food sources. Instead of letting young able bodied individuals go they've taken over and have been risking it themselves since they've been blessed with a long life already allowing the younger generation to survive and hopefully also go on to live long and full lives. It's not that the youth wouldn't go too, the elders were strongly against it. That's a prime example of Ukranian strength, courage, bravery, love, and nobility. That's 100% why you are a people worth protecting and fighting for. And that's why I wish we didn't have to hold back ourselves. You're a people worth fighting for.
Just came across this clip by accident, mixed feelings. On the one hand disappointed, somewhat feeling a lack of knowledge/gratefulness, and at the same time understanding that who do we in the West think we are considering it is the person in the street and particularly their soldiers who face the brunt of this war. Simultaneously a feeling of embarrassment & shame of not doing more whilst also having faith in our leaders/institutions about the need not to provoke an accidental nuclear exchange and all out war (WW3). A quick scan of the comments below was comforting where there is more explicit nuance & detail. The gentleman with trendy greyish beard & longer hair (sort of artistic looking) was interesting, as was the historian's view of "clash of civilisations". Even the guy who curtly declared outsiders only help for their own (economic) benefit (wrong in my view but would like to have heard more). Wish we did & do more for Ukraine before it's too late, as I fear we have decided here that Ukraine shall not lose, but not that Ukraine must win - definitions of each are important. Also outsiders, thanks to our media, have the impression that we are the reason Ukraine has not collapsed, rather than their own blood & iron, whereas the truth lies somewhere inbetween, e.g. most interviewed didn't really seem to grasp that non-military financial help from outside is the principal reason there is still a functioning economy in the country. Any comment can go on & on, but suffice to say we could do more, that more will take time as we decide upon the key question, that unfortunately will cost lives, that not all countries are pulling their weight (e.g. Hungary, but not only) that domestic problems do & will raise their heads as money is not infinitely abundant etc. etc. Enough.
