Russia, the war tactics they are employing, they are absolutely barbaric.
For us Ukrainians, there is no reason to believe that because we have had time and time again evidence when Putin has said one thing and then did the complete opposite.
If Ukraine goes on in concessions as to land or as to any other of the demands that Putin is making right now, we're actually going to be putting the whole world at risk.
The only thing that can stop Putin's aggression is a united international effort that will be bigger than Russia's force, and that will actually kick Putin out of Ukraine and restrain him inside the territory of Russia.
