Ever since I was in my teens my opinion of people as a whole has been slowly eroded by the news, war, politics, and general douchebaggery.

I'm not ashamed to say that seeing what the people of Ukraine are going through brings tears to my eyes almost daily. Seeing people stand together for the good of their country is such a change from watching people tear each other down is such a stark change from what I'm used to.

Seeing the Ukrainian people feed captured soldiers and let them call their families to let them know they are alive blows my mind. Honestly how many people reading this can say they would do the same thing in their situation?

They have a President that stands with them and truly wants what's best for his people. Not just some political figure head who tells people pretty words because he thinks it will get him more votes. I'm not a religious man but I pray President Zelensky survives this war, I know I will never met the man, but it would be an honor to just shake the mans hand.

I'm not naive enough to think that every Ukrainian is a model citizen, I know that these are people who are pushed to their limits and are doing everything they can do survive. But as of right now they are a shining example of what people can do when they work together.

To any Ukrainians to read this, I believe a lot of governments of the world are failing you. And that the world is a whole stands behind you.

To any Russians who may see this, seeing such a large number of your population standing against Putin voicing that you don't want happening gives me hope that one day the people around Putin will also stand up for what's right. From what I have seen a lot of troops are there under false pretenses, I thank those that surrender and refuse to follow orders, and hope that those who turn a blind eye suffer a painful death.

To Putin and those around them, The defenders of snake island said it best "Go fuck yourselves".

Glory to Ukraine.
