“Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let’s be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian ‘Shahedis’ are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame,” said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine’s allies to draw the right conclusions. “It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone,” he said.

    The majority of Ukrainians are forced to remain in their country and fight, often separated from their families, highlighting the harsh realities of war. Your perspective appears influenced by an idealized, cinematic portrayal of conflict, whereas the adage “War is hell” reflects its true nature. In any scenario, peace is always preferable to war, as no dimension exists where war surpasses peace in its value or consequences.

        I am deeply passionate about this situation because it is one that could potentially impact me in the future. Our civilized way of life is a remarkable privilege that we often take for granted. However, both natural disasters and wars have the potential to disrupt or permanently erase it.

      “Peace” with the third Reich was not preferable to opposing them in the Second World War. There are some people left who had to suffer under the Nazis, they could tell you about that.

      But generally you have the right idea, we just disagree in the definition of peace. A state in which Ukraine capitulates and becomes a Russian vassal state, where political dissent is not tolerated the Ukrainian culture and language are russified and opposition is violently cast down can not be classified as peace in my opinion. It’d be the continuation of the war against the Ukrainians with different means, or more likely with very similar means but less international attention.
