We need to stop calling Ukrainians resilient (kyivindependent.com)

We love a story where a hero finds strength amid immense adversity, because in our culture, we're taught that the character who chooses to be resilient always wins, no matter the odds.

Resilience is, at its core, a positive character trait when you have a choice in how to act. When we talk about Ukraine's resilience, we omit what Ukrainians know very well β€” that Russia isn't going to stop its war until Ukrainian independence is crushed. Ukrainians have no choice but to continue and resist Russia's demands.
