      What are you talking about? I don’t see how you comment is connected to the article at all.

      I’ve read it a few times now. Is Ukraine the 3rd world country you refer to? Is the article selfish because it puts the needs of the local citizens over the needs of faraway Ukrainians?

      And what about whataboutism?

      I think you were downvoted not because your point is bad, but just because you need to express it a bit more clearly.
