Russia Just Invaded Ukraine And People Are Going Online To Let Others Know How Scary It Is (30 Posts)
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.

I am furious and terrified for you. Hopefully you and your family and friends will be safe. We are thinking of you.
Same from the US. I am holding my breath that this ends soon without needless suffering for you, your family and all your country men/women /children. Blessed Be 🙏
Load More Replies...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
Load More Replies...I hate this so much. Putin is a power hungry monster. I'm Russian, and I'm so mad at this, because Russia and Ukraine are like sister countries! Even we Russians think this is horrible. I am supporting all Ukranians, hopefully this doesn't get any worse than it already is. I hope you all stay safe. <3
Much love to you. Thank you so much for sharing. My heart goes out to all the people in the Ukraine and to the people of Russia who oppose this senseless violence.
Load More Replies...It is little comfort, but please know that there are literally millions of people in the world thinking of all of you at this time. We pray, light candles, send positive energy, whatever is our personal believe to support you during this time.
I thought that we were civilized now, and the days of war were behind us. Apparently not.
I feel the same. That said though, I am encouraged by my fellow Pandas. We bicker and debate all the time, but when something like this happens, I'm glad to see solidarity. It give me a glimmer of hope for how the rest of the world may react to this invasion. Maybe we as the human race have made some progress, after all.
Load More Replies...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.
Look, if I was of age, I'd do the same. No matter what you do, you aren't being a "spineless coward." EVERYONE gets scared. It's not over until you give up.🫡
It's so sad to see this, I hope you return as a hero even though you shouldn't have been in a position to make that choice in the first place....good luck to you and bad luck to the people that caused this.
So painful to read. It's heartbreaking! It's also angering because of one man's greed and fear of his loss of power!
I simply cannot imagine what it must be like being in the Ukraine right now. My heart goes out to you and everyone.
Don't worry. This is not your last post. You WILL make it through. May God always be with you all Ukrainians and keep you safe. One more time...you WILL make it through.
I don’t care if you return as a hero or whatever, just RETURN!!❤️❤️❤️
Too many disassociated cold hearts in this world. My heart feels you pain to be diminished into a meme, human lives reduced to media sound bites while their reality is so horrific. I'm so sorry, I wish I had more than an apology to offer. You deserve so much more than the world is capable of giving and that is absurd and reality all at once.
Making a meme out of this is one of the most loathsome things I've ever encountered. It's truly special people who do that kind of inhumane activities thinking it's a good idea. It truly does take a cold person to be able to do these things.
Load More Replies...Ukraine IS NOT a meme to me. Your family and friends are not a meme! You are humans who do not deserve to be attacked and killed by a narcissistic psychopath. Please know that there are so many of us who are devastated and terrified for you. I hope this travesty ends soon.
WTH is wrong with people. I was borderline crying this morning when my mom told me about it and I saw it on the news. It is so upsetting and infuriating that some heartless idiot would do this to y'all. Prayers and love sent, I hope you guys get through this.
Stupid. Absoulutely stupid. Why the hell would someone make you and your situation a meme?
I'm not surprised there are assholes making memes about this. It's disturbing. They don't stop and think how fortunate they are for not being in the middle of it and how terrifying it must be for those who are.
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.
It's all over the news, all the bombings, the national emergency sirens, the explosions, people waiting in subways, a person on a bicycle coming under a missile blast; it's honestly so frightening and scary just watching all these destructions. I can't even begin to imagine what the civilians must be going through right now.
My heart is breaking for these people. May God be with them. Putin, you suck and don't deserve the air you breathe. 😞🤬🤬
Please add evil. Hold him and Trump accountable. Go all the way with your description because yall seem to have a problem stating exactly what he is and that's the devil. Nostalgia doesn't make me kill people. Quit with the big words when there is only one that truly describes them. 'Pootin' and 'Chump' are just evil and they care nothing about the lives they play with. They will eat their own young if it benefits them. Americans and their hate fueled votes will get them exactly what they thought they were asking for. Prayers for Ukraine 🇺🇦

I just can't stand the idea of all the young Ukrainians who are going to lose their lives in this senseless war, and all the young Russians who probably don't want to be involved but have no choice.
If it's any "consolation", this war will be over quickly. Ukraine stands no chance unfortunately.

This isn't about Trump or Biden. Its about what's happening in the Ukraine. This war has put things in perspective. From now on I am downvoting every single comment that mentions either of these two men. This useless bickering has gone on long enough and those of us who don't support the far left or the far right have tolerated the childish bickering long enough. It is not about the US. It is not about a US president. It is not about US politics. It is not about party lines. This is about the Ukraine. And whichever leader we have at the moment supporting the Ukraine. Full stop.
Load More Replies...If anyone wants to post an insensitive comment here, there will never be a time or place. People are f*****g dying, so just stand with Ukraine #IstandwithUkraine
This is no joking matter. It's the lives of 40+ million human lives at the risk of being lost. Drop to your knees and prayer to your God, whoever it may be.
There are many here who hearts are breaking for you and your country.
My heart breaks at the ignorance & pain you must endure for now. Prayers XOXOXO
So sorry for you. Unfortunately here in America Im not sure if our government will do anything substantial. As you can see with people arguing about Trump of all things we are deeply divided and cant even agree on helping or not.
Not true, Summer. Within the past year, the US has sent $650 million in military aid to the Ukraine. Let's hope it helps them.
Load More Replies...*Not a trumper. I refuse to listen to one word that orange idiot has ever said. And to say that Putin's strategy is genius, what a d*ck! Both of them. No WWIII jokes coming from me.
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.
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.
They destroy and leave the ugly legacy of hatred in the souls of all the participants to pass down to all the generations to come. It is a terrible sin to hate but a much worse one to give others a reason to hate. Where does it end?
So far, never. The world has experienced a continuous period of war since World War One, and it has yet to end.
Load More Replies...I do not pray often, but I am praying that this war ends quickly, and that the Ukrainians know that we are thinking of them.
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.
Load More Replies...No 👏🏻 one 👏🏻 wins. Oh gosh I hope we get this into our heads soon before it escalates further.
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
Why are we as a species still fighting wars in 2022...gosh, we will be the destruction of ourselves while the needy, the innocent and the brave all die in vain.
I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. Right now, I absolutely hate Russia - (Correction hate Putin not the citizens) I wish I could do more than just sit here worried for you.
Putin. You hate Putin. Russia didn't decide to do this, Putin did.
Load More Replies...My heart is breaking! Each one I read just increases the sadness. People should not have to live in fear like this.
I am so sorry that this is happening to your country. I have no words to express the anger and fear I feel for you. Hopefully, you and your friends will be safe and this will end soon. Know that we are thinking of you.
It's heart wrenching and definitely scary. Not sure what the invaders really want. Not sure what freedom means anymore in the country.
The fact that it's 2022 and this b******t continues to happen is idiotic. People shouldn't have to die because of one man's stupidity.
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.
i swear to god everything will be okay x survive and be strong sweetie. just know that i’m rooting for you. ~❤️ Sweetie Cake

Cannot even believe that this is happening in 2022!! It's so devastating! I really thought that we were past these meaninglessness wars!
Load More Replies...My heart and soul cry for you and your country. I wish I could help.
No one should have to live in such fear. No one should have to tell their small children about situations like this and what may happen. This is devastating and so unnecessary. One man holding the fate of millions in his hands because of greed and power. Heartbreaking!
My god this was both devastating and heartbreaking to read. I cannot fathom what these poor people are going through. Nobody should ever have to live in fear of their lives and fear of never seeing their loved ones again.
I’m not extremely emotional but this has me about to break down in tears
I- I can't even say anything at this- all of this is just so heart breaking I just hope you stay safe
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.
And unfortunately, I don't think that statement is false in any way. Putin threw the world back to 1939.
The fact that it says 'for a long time to come' is so frightening and heart sinking. All the best to Ukraine
It was early morning, 24 March 1999 in Belgrade, Serbia. My brother from Canada sent me a message "go home, they're gonna bomb you". I hastely packed my things, got on a bus and went to my hometown. The moment i entered my parents' apartment, air raid sirens started blaring...
I can't imagine how terrifying this had to be. Please be safe.
And you know Intelligence across the world KNEW AND DID NOTHING. Sending Prayers & Peace XOXO
That is unfair, nobody wanted a war, everyone was just hoping it was all show and nothing else. Granted they should have known better with this Russian leader, but they just hoped. Let us see what the next few days/months bring, maybe someone could go in and just remove Putin, then it would all stop.

People who have hearts are thinking about and praying for Ukraine. I have no connection, per se, to Ukraine except that we are humans who deserve better. We share the blood that runs in our veins, the love that we feel for our families, friends and country. We abhor and despise the cretins who make war a joke. Please be safe.
Who in the right mind makes fun of a fricking war? Innocent people are dying, adults and children are scared, and the unaffected people make fun of this?? Disgusting
Bull s**t, and saying Hot take makes your opinion even less important. Most of Canada is half Ukrainian. When I was 10 in Alberta we helped build a house out of mud and straw that became the museum in a tiny farm town. Miss Frizz here is of the new generation and acts like young North Americans. This war has even affected the stock exchange
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!
Keep your prayers, send fighting troops and equipment/weaponry.

I wish I could do more as a Russian, but I don't live in Russia, and am probably too young to do anything. I am praying for you all, and my family and I are very worried about all Ukrainians, and Russians as well if this escalates. Thanks to all the Russians protesting even though there may be severe consequences to them. I'm keeping Ukraine in my thoughts.
It is ALL up to Russians now, they have to get rid of that mad dog Putin or accept a million body-bags, no one else can do it for them; he literally threatened the world with Nukes this morning.
No body bags this time, Russian forces have mobile crematoriums deployed with them to dispose of their casualties.

Only putin and its goons want this war. They will be no where near the front as is to dangerous. putin's care little for the lives of others.
Please do everything you can to be safe. There are many, many people who stand by you.
This is real for her. Sitting in the comfort of my home I know I am safe from harm. I’m trying to project myself there, so I can understand the best I can. Pray for Ukraine
Isn't Russia big enough?? Why? Why they keep invading and f*****g around??
Why does it feel like US and NATO, (and some european countries) was like: we got your back in case of a war! And when the war actually started they just: we codemn this, and uh good luck.
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 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?
You may not have access to the news or internet but the Russian people are protesting in Moscow and stuff they're getting arrested and the people are protesting around the world and standing with you and supporting you don't feel like you're alone
I hope peace comes back to both of your nations and may this era of fear end as fast as possible
He can't live forever, none of these ugly minded dictators and huge egos live any longer than the average peace loving human. Most people don't have millions wishing them a horrible pain filled death though. And really, that's all these assholes like Putin have to look forward to.

#PutinIsBetterOfDead I hope you and your family stay safe Infact I hope everyone is safe ( except for Putin )
one day all those russian beurocrats who still think the USSR needs to come back, will die off.. Ukraine is the future, USSR, the past.
The chills when you hear the national emergency sirens, the amount of fear it builds up in the heart...God it must be so spine chilling
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.
Oh my gosh I was able to hold it together until now but I'm sobbing. You can hear the pain and sadness even though it's over text.
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.

This is only six hours of this persons life. Imagine what you would be feeling during these six hours. I cannot imagine listening to updates about cities in my country being destroyed, waiting to see how it unfolds, if I will survive. These people did nothing to deserve this. The Russian people need to stand up to Putin and let him know, unequivocally that they do not want this and they do not support him in this
I hope Russian soldiers think about the lives they are destroying. The men, women and children who don't deserve this was, simply because of an egotistical leader who says he can't get his own way.

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.

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!
Hello all, am Ukrainian Soldier stationed and about to beginning fighting in Donetsk, me and my brothers are wanting everyone to know Ukraine will not fall, we are all fight till are dying breathes to defend our homeland we not allow them to get near Kyiv we are men and they are boys. They are not taking us without a fight.

Edit 2; Zemeiniy Island has fallen, all of guardsmen stationed there are killed, but never surrendered, DDOS attacks are hit us on frontline and in Kyiv, Pervomaisk has fallen.
We are all on your side and wishing there was more we could do!

Words cannot describe the level of tragedy and heartache Putin's senile actions bring. I am heartbroken for Ukraine, but also regular Russian people who are unwillingly dragged into this horrible mess. Today I take to streets in protest of this insanity, along with my brothers and sisters from all over the world.
We all realize this isn't the Russian people, this is one man's narcissism. No one is blaming you guys at all. We know what going on. I feel terrible for Putin dragging soldiers into HIS war (just like what happened here in the US with Vietnam)
Load More Replies...We in Poland are also scared. We don't believe that Putin will stop at Ukraine. Our goverment, while evil, hateful and incompetent, are setting refugee centers near the border. We are preparing to take as many Ukrainian brothers and sisters as we can
I also don't believe he will stop there. I think he wants to build back the USSR bigger than ever. Crimea was a test and the West failed it - the West stood by 'in protest' as Russia invaded. They next moved onto other parts of Ukraine, stoked fires, and now insist upon all of Ukraine. This is a repeat of Czechoslovakia in 1938; Germany sought to recover 'ethnic Germans' and 'historical German land' there, so he invaded while justifying it to the Western powers. Even though this was a direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles, the west (led by British PM Chamberlain) bought his 'justification' and decided to allow it just to avoid war. As we know now...tolerating an invasion doesn't prevent a war, it allows it. Sanctions will not be enough.

Thank you brother, we are need it, I would also like to reassure you that Dictator Putin and his little green boys are not take us, they are not going get into Kyiv until all of us are dead.

The western world should sanction Russia to the extent we sanction North Korea.

Sane leaders do. Putin doesn't fall into that category, not by a long shot. Someone needs to take that f****r out, for the safety and sanity of all nations.
Load More Replies...I am crying right now. It is so unbelievable that one mans hybris and narcissism can bring so much fear and pain to so many innocent people! But to answer war with more war will not solve any of this. It just will make the world burn. I' m out of words ...
Shushadei, We have lived with evil narcissism in the US for 5 years. At least a million people will die here, caused by Trump's malicious ignorance.
