Day 54

A tentative chronology of full-scale invasion of Ukraine
Weeks 1-2: Ukrainians are defying everyone’s expectations by not giving up in a matter of days while raising millions to buy ammo, gear, and whatever else is available for purchase.
Most-asked question: Why don’t you just give up?
Weeks 3-4: Ukrainians are still fighting against “the world’s second army” thus giving our partners time to come up with a Plan B, cause Plan A that they opted for 8 years ago won’t slide this time around. The rearguard is not leaving a stone unturned in lobbying support for Ukraine.
Most-asked question: Why don’t you just compromise on NATO membership, Luhansk, Donetsk and Crimea?
Weeks 5-6: Ukrainians are making it clear to everyone that it isn’t just about fighting back, we are actually in it to win it. But we can’t do it with defensive weapons alone. And the price of each day spent tiptoeing along the red lines most of which have already been crossed by the aggressor is hundreds if not thousands of Ukrainian lives.
Most-asked question: Why does everyone help Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees more than others?
If the issue is not resolved now, the Horde will come back, destroying everything in its path. Who will be your shield then?
