I mean, you’d have to be evil to support the invasion, regardless of being a socialist or not.

This was evident after the beginning of the invasion in his frequent appeals to the Russians, his invitation to the Kremlin to negotiate, and his statements that the Ukrainian army would not try to retake the territories that were under Russian control before February 24 but would seek their return through diplomatic means in the future. If Zelensky were replaced by someone more nationalistic, the situation would become much worse.

Is it really considered nationalist to want Crimea back after a sham election? If so, call me a nationalist. The people who live in Crimea deserve a proper vote.

I’m surprised that any leftist could support Russia in this war. It’s litteraly the remake of nazi Germany invading Poland. Fortunately Ukraine held firm, but I would have liked Europe to be more involved instead of hiding behind nato.

On the other hand, I agree that western countries and nato gave reasons for Russia to go full nazi by antagonising and isolating it. But this is even more of a responsibility for nato and western powers to solve this conflict the right way, which is the capitulation with no condition from Russia.
