The reason I am interested in the Ukrainian people is because I am European and volunteer in refugee relief. I am confronted with the human cost of this invasion on a very, very regular basis. The lives of 33 million people have been violently uprooted by the decision of a foreign state, and the only socialist stance to take in that regard is clear condemnation. It is that simple.

My question was: how does the violence of the invasion help the self determination of Ukrainian people?

I'll be more explicit: why not simply acknowledge that the invasion is not only unlawful, but deeply immoral -- and completely contradictory to the self determination of a people?

Right, so how does the full scale, violent invasion by a foreign state help the self determination of both Ukrainian peoples?

Question: do you believe in the self-determination of Ukrainians?

I have an active account and it also didn't pop up in pwned.

Let me know if you find it!
