A bit smoll right?

Good to know that killing innocent Ukrainians isn’t a breach of contract for Germany but asking for payment in rubles is.

You can conquer a country but not its people.

If the Turkish people could send Greek, French, British, and even American forces packing after WW1 who says the brave people of Ukraine cannot prevail against the forces of that fucker Putin?

Meanwhile, we watch on in shame.

German lawmakers call on leader to cut Russia from vital SWIFT payments system

German lawmakers criticized Chancellor Olaf Scholz for not cutting Russia off from the vital high-security payment network, SWIFT, in the European Union’s latest round of sanctions on Moscow.

German Parliament member Norbert Röttgen, from the Christian Democrats party, said on Twitter that cutting Russia from SWIFT is the ''sharpest sword'' for sanctions, adding that: ''The SWIFT exclusion of Russia must not fail now because of Germany!''

As a Russian citizen, I'm really sorry for what currently happens on Ukraine or in the world in general. I wish it would all stop new and be forgotten like a nightmare dream. Ukraine is our neighbor after all, with closely related languages and cultures, and this is great. Why couldn't we just live in peace?

Countries wants as many people to stand for defending their home. And I agree with this if we were attacked, but in this case we're the bad one here...
