Protests are all well and good but they’re not helping the Ukrainians on the ground. Governments aren’t helping Ukrainians on the ground either. Maybe it’s time to help them help themselves.

If this invasion is not halted in a way that teaches aggressors a lesson, there will be an order of magnitude or ten MORE humanitarian needs. Sometimes, sadly, you need to fight.
Nothing in my suggestion says that this takes the place of supplying humanitarian comfort and aid. But unless you want the aggressors to think that this is a good technique and to get emboldened into doing it again and again and again and again, someone has to stand up and bloody their noses repeatedly until they learn the lesson.
Oh, and once the aggressors’ noses have been bloodied, those same drones are VERY useful for dropping supplies in isolated and cut-off territories. Which is another reason they’re superior to handing partisans rocket launchers and other such militarily-focused aid.

There is nothing “nationalistic” in observing that this is now the third time that Russia has invaded other territories with violence to grab land for itself. Georgia. Crimea (Ukraine I). And now an attempt at the whole nation (Ukraine II). Do you genuinely believe this is the end of it? That after Russia grabs Ukraine it will be happy and stop there?

There is lots to gain for anarchists to join in with the beleaguered people of any such conflict, however.
