    Leave any internal political issues until the end of the war

    and how do you imagine they’ll do that exactly? how are they even to begin resolving their political issues when all leftwing parties have been banned, unions are severely restricted, and strikes and protests have been made illegal? even if the allow for free elections again, any post-war government will have to act adhere to the neoliberal repayment programs of the IMF and other foreign actors, meaning further wage cuts, more austerity, more privatization

      Good points, but what’s the alternative? At least Ukraine has a chance to even have internal politics after the war.

      That’s not my business. Ukrainians have showed multiple times over the past 30 years that they know how to deal with bad politicians. Don’t try to come up and solve problems that don’t exist today. Today the country as at war and not spreading Russian propaganda the least we could do.

        but these problems do exist today? that’s literally the whole point of the article. and what they’re experience today—extreme salary cuts, austerity, longer work days, poorer access to public goods—isn’t going to magically go away once the war is over. especially not when every avenue ukrainians have to protests their government is being criminalized

          Okay, go ahead, attack the Ukrainian government for having poor living conditions during the war if that makes the most sense to you under given circumstances.

        That’s not my business.

        What is your business then exactly? Is it property, or people? You seem to be on the side of property with no regard for the conditions of the people who exist on that property.
