Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Yeah, I have the utmost respect for what Ukraine has done. They have stood firm and paid a heavy price for it. It simply wouldn't have been possible without the massive amount of funding and weapon donations though and I think they need to be diplomatically careful. It's likely that the USA is preparing to throw them under the bus so will be relying on the rest of NATO for continued support. I'm not sure diminishing their contributions (while there is internal right wing/Russian pressure) is the best strategy.
