We don't see a lot of Ukrainians around here. Do you think Ukraine will surrender to Russia and try to maintain most of its territories, or will it fight until the last Ukrainian dies and lose a lot more? I know for u to be under russian control would be hell too as they are conservative homophobics.
It's such a shame the West made Ukraine refuse the early negotiations where they would maintain most of their land. A lot of people would still be alive, and China, the EU, and China would guarantee the deal...
Sorry if I confused any of you, should've clarified that I'm straight, now I feel kind of shitty because I probably tricked a lot of people into thinking otherwise. Not that only LGBTQ+ people can comment under the post, but still.
Saying that, because of the mobilisation, male population is still under a shit ton of pressure in Ukraine, only multiplied if you're queer, but I don't think much will change under Russia's rule, if there will be one. For liberals, Ukraine might appear as western rainbow utopia where LGBTQ+ people are widely accepted, but considering how many Nazis are here... I have my fair share of doubts about this perspective.
People are so confused, in fact, that in my university I have a person, who is an open Bandera supporter, while being gay and friends with a Jewish girl. Pretty crazy mind fuck if I ever saw one.
If we're talking about the future of Ukraine, man, I just want all of this to end as fast as possible. I don't care whether it be Russia or Ukraine, because at the end of the day, what's the difference? (except that Russia is anti-west, sort of, and Ukraine is pro-west)
I wish we took that deal at the start, many people would still be alive, economy and morale wouldn't be so fucked and I probably could've returned home, now I'm not sure about that no more.
