Everyone was hoping that this day wouldn’t come, everyone was scared that it probably would. This morning, on February 24, 2022 at 6 AM (Moscow time), Putin announced that Russia invaded Ukraine. World countries one after another are condemning this attack and High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of EU Commission, Josep Borrell Fontelles, considers these events “among the darkest hours of Europe since the Second World War.”

As the world is watching all of this unfold, Ukrainians and other people in the country are experiencing it. The internet is now full of reports of what is happening and some people have shared their own thoughts and feelings of being woken up by explosions. Bored Panda collected some of the personal messages that were shared to represent what people in Ukraine didn't sign up for but have to endure.

Many people would like to help Ukraine but they don't know how. The National Bank of Ukraine opened up a special account to raise funds for Ukraine’s Armed Forces which is UA843000010000000047330992708 and if you could donate anything that would be great help to support the country. You can find more information following this link to the official page of National Bank of Ukraine.

Thankfully I've seen no one making any kind of joke about the situation. We are hoping our government here in the UK will stop messing about and taking the strongest actions to deter Putin with sanctions. I am so scared for the people of Ukraine right now. After only 20 years of freedom from the Soviet machine, I can't imagine what it must be like for people seeing Russia invade, and watching and hearing bombs and missiles drop around you. We are all thinking of you.

Yesterday near by my home a mom and her probably four year old daughter were standing on the edge of an overpass bridge holding a sign in support of the Ukraine. I could only think that she probably has family there and couldn't imagine what she must be feeling at this moment. My heart went out to her and her daughter. For the rest of my days I'll never forget that scene. It was just like out of my old history books and it breaks my heart that this is where we are right now. I know I was naive but I thought we as a world had become better. I thought we were kinder, more compassionate, less racist, more peaceable than we are. This isn't the world I want for my child, a world of war, of hate, of struggles. But for her whole short life it's been pandemic, racism, now war. We have be supportive of one another and focus on what actually matters (like protecting peace and caring for others), and put aside the pettiness. My heart goes out to the Ukraine and all in that region supporting peace

This whole hell started with Russia deploying military troops at the Ukrainian border last year, saying that they were just doing some military training. More and more soldiers and military equipment were brought to the border and everyone was starting to worry that this could grow into a conflict.

After unfruitful discussions and trying out diplomatic measures, the conversation with Russia’s president Vladimir Putin failed and he declared war against Ukraine. But you could say that Russia has been at war with Ukraine since 2014 when Russia occupied Crimea and the time in between was just a brief break.

    Wars always end with too many people dying, countries being left ruined economically and morally, so good leaders try to avoid them by any means possible. There has to be a good reason if someone is prepared to make their country and another country go through this.

    Some might say that there is no good reason as in the modern world we should be able to communicate with words without having people killed. It is hard to disagree that the reasons behind Ukraine’s invasion are meaningless and reading through people’s messages who have to witness the explosions makes you understand how horrible it is.

    Various political reviewers are trying to make sense of Putin’s madness and have explained that he really didn’t like the fact that Ukraine wants to become part of NATO. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy realizes how dangerous it is to have such a neighbor as Russia, especially after the events in 2014, so he wanted to have allies who would help when his country was in need.

    Putin intervened and expressed his dissatisfaction and actually accused NATO of trying to convince Ukraine to join the alliance so that they could have their troops closer to the Russian border. He claimed that NATO is being the aggressor by not agreeing to fulfill his request. For some reason, it bothers the president of Russia that Ukraine wants to be westernized, join NATO, join the EU and free themselves from the influence of Russia. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    It could be rooted in Putin’s understanding that Ukrainians are actually Russians, as last year, he described the two countries as one nation because the Soviet Union was the one who created Ukraine.

    Same. I'm tired of the real people of a country paying for the hubris and ego of rich and powerful leaders who get to stay safe and benefit no matter the situation. I think leaders that start wars should immediately have to resign and go fight in the front lines so that they'd never get to live in the world they helped create. Maybe that would limit their desire for war.

    Heartbroken for my friends and colleagues in Ukraine. Hope they are all safe (they are all offline since this morning). Here (in Bucharest, Romania) we're preparing to receive a high number of refugees. My apartment is small but it could host a mother and a child. There are also demonstrations in support of Ukraine this evening. #IStandWithUkraine

    Even though there could be lots of speculation about how Putin feels and many interpretations of his words, there are some specific demands he presented to the Western countries that would make him stop.

    He asked for a legally binding pledge that NATO won’t include Ukraine in their alliance; otherwise, where would Russia retreat in a conflict with the US. He also called for the countries who don’t acknowledge Crimea as part of Russia to change their stance.

    The West couldn’t fulfill those demands because they violate their core values. The situation escalated and since the first explosions in the eastern part of Ukraine, the situation is changing every minute. 

    Ukraine has a very big and powerful enemy, but they have many friends too. NATO plans on increasing its presence in Eastern Europe, but Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said they won’t be sending troops to Ukraine.

    Democratic countries of the world are declaring sanctions to weaken Russia’s economy. They will be sending weapons and equipment for Ukraine and providing financial assistance as well as humanitarian assistance.

Let us see what the next few days/months bring, maybe someone could go in and just remove Putin, then it would all stop.

    It is important to protect Ukraine as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis said on his Twitter, “We in Lithuania know it very well that Ukraine is fighting not just for Ukraine, but for us in the region, Europe and everyone in the democratic world. It is our obligation not just to punish Russia for its actions but to help Ukraine with all and every means available.”

    It is safe to say that we all wish for it to end as soon as possible and for Ukraine to survive this in one piece. Слава Україні!

    To put it simply. Nato is a DEFENSIVE (meaning even if there is a direct threat to a state they can only defend not attack) alliance and its jurisdiction covers only MEMBER states - from here i believe you can do the math. The only thing they can do is to sanction Russia...otherwise WW3 in motion and everyone dies..... Just explaining not arguing....Nevertheless all this is insane....the only thing that ppl improved over the years is the ways how to kill each other and finding reasons to do so .... Dont be ashamed of your country, be ashamed of humanity as a spicies.

    I started crying when I heard him say he was doing thins FOR YOU. I knew then there was no stopping him after hearing that rhetoric. He's the hero, your military and government is the villain and that's that. Of course that's not reality and we all know he's a psychopath who sincerely doesn't care who dies at all, but he does so enjoy his little plays. And they're utterly terrifying. I wish I could save you. Change places. Shield you. This doesn't need to happen. There's no necessity for it. No great assest to be earned. Russia never really treated Ukrainians as full equals and I fear for their future. Just...what's that motivation here? Besides more land, what is it? So many innocent people will die for nothing and Putin...what is it worth? Testing the boundaries?

    Here in Australia I have no idea what an emergency siren for a bombing attack would even sound like. I don't feel privileged, I feel so inadequatel and ignorant of the suffering of everyone just like me but born into or stuck in a part of the world where a siren could even go off. I wish nobody ever had to hear such a thing, I feel sick for everyone who has.

    Try for Poland (anyone who may spread this message to people in need of a way out), I hear borders are now open for any Ukrainian seeking refuge, with or without a visa, without Covid quarantine, and with any dogs/cats without vet passports as well. Why on earth they didn't want to take refugees from Iraq in but are willing to let many more Ukrainians in I don't know, but finally this stupid govt seems to be doing the right thing for once.

    Unless something really big happens, the US will not physically intervene. They don't have the stomach for it after Iraq and Afghanistan, and Putin knows it. This is heartbreaking because the only way Putin can be stopped is by an adversary as strong as Russia. China, could, but they don't want to. China is watching to see how this plays out, then will attack and subvert Taiwan next. And even though I can hardly believe it, NO-ONE seems to want to physically intervene. :(

    Russia pretty much threatened nuclear response if they were intervened with. I think that would make any sensible nation pause slightly on a direct full frontal attack. I also think you're forgetting ALL THE ARMIES IN EUROPE conveniently while slightly trashing the US.

    It's not that easy. Putin is a trigger happy dictator. All he cares about is control, greed and power. If NATO gets involved, WORLD WAR 3 starts... and that could mean nuclear bombs. The whole world is in danger, but there's no easy solution to stopping him. If Ukraine stands down, Putin wins... if the world steps in, it's the beginning of the end. It's very sad and so terrifying. Praying that the people of Ukraine manage to flee or seek shelter, my heart aches for you. I can't go about my daily routine as usual. In my mind, I am there with you. Praying the world finds a solution before its too late. Try your best to stay brave and stay strong 🙏💞 The world is not abandoning you. We are sending resources!

    Etransfer your money to someone who isnt living there. The machine will tap out and than you have to take your money to another country in cash.

    War is always pointless. Fighting for peace is an oxymoron. And only Morons like Putin or Trump want it.

    What? Are you in the Ukraine? I'm sure they had bdays there too that were much worse. This is a pretty tone-deaf comment.

    Ukraine is fighting not only for themselves but also for the whole democratic world so we have to support them. It is important to show that we are on their side but that alone will not help them win. They need financial help to support the army so that they had the funds to be able to defend themselves.

    he National Bank of Ukraine opened up a special account to raise funds for Ukraine’s Armed Forces which is UA843000010000000047330992708 and if you could donate anything that would be great help to support the country. You can find more information following this link to the official page of National Bank of Ukraine.

    Traffic will calm down when the means to traffic - road or gas - aren't available anymore. Leave early, don't leave late. FFS, Putin is doing stupid stuff since he's presidentevitsh, so ... quite some time. It just has never made russia thrive, people are sick of everything but hm (propaganda works eventually, ... takes time, but china shows how it works flawlessly, silently, effective and cruel).

    The west should react. Forceful, without leaving questions. Zarevitsh Vladi already threatened to use nuclear force ... well, if he wants to MAYBE see that NOTHING of the oh-so-glorious russia will remain after the answer, ... the first strike only assigns who will die first and second in time, nothing else, then. I doubt he would dare. Having a nuclear weapon constantly aiming and Putin's location would make the world a lot safer. Man, I hate this piece of shid. Fück him. In the ass. In the ... everything.

    It's so unfair and unfortunate. Putin is a man of greed and power. May God be with you all! Prayers!
