Discussion about Russian invasion of Ukraine

Unfortunately you cannot do anything without hurting some innocent people which is the sad thing of this whole mess. Putin has brought any reprisals against his country by HIS actions,nobody else. You can make all the excuses you like but sad to say many innocent people will be hurt. Unfortunately wars do not discriminate which again is the sad thing.

The only reason and you would never admit it is that it would reduce your reduce viewing pleasure.

Thank you for thinking that you know or understand me and my intentions in life.

Every Russian should be treated equally, no exception.

Well, in this case, let’s all go back the days of segregation and racism. Oh wait, they have never left, have they?

Again, to punish someone just because they are Russian is not fair. VHTV, from my understanding, is not a Russian company. Yes, they have Russian tenants, but I see these people as innocent – and not part of the war.

True, athletes and companies that operate on an international front are being sanctioned, but that is not against the athletes themselves. It is because they represent Russia.

Of course they will.

There is a difference between innocent people getting hurt or punished because of the crimes/actions of others and specifically setting a race/culture aside and labeling them as evil or to blame.

concernant les sportifs russes ,ils n’ont sans doute rien demandĂ© mais le pouvoir Russe et Poutine en particulier instrumentalise beaucoup le sport.

Hi. I am impressed with how you are actually doing something, not just donating. The world needs more kind people like you. Those refugees are in dire need and need all the help. We forget about all the human trafficker’s that must be around trying to take advantage of those poor people. Keep on doing what you do.

Unfortunately that is what happens in wars.

I would only ask that you think about the Russian viewers and participants here on VHTV – and their innocence – before you say that they all should suffer and pay the price for Putin’s regime. Not everyone is as verbal as some of us – and you never know what harm your words might do. Yes, this is a difficult time for Ukrainians, but it is also a difficult time for Russians. This is not providing sympathy to the regime or the military actions, but it is looking at it with a humanistic perspective that tries to see all humans as equal regardless of race, sexuality, or 
 well 
 all the other things that divide us.

And for clarification, for anyone who has seen my posting on here since this madness has started, I am not pro-Putin. I have Ukrainian and Russian friends. My heart breaks for both.

But those who no longer have houses, have lost everything due to the action of the Russians are not innocent. Those women and c___dren who have lost their lives are not innocent. Who do you want to punish? It is Russian soldiers fighting this war. There are no innocent Russians, they are the only ones who can get rid of their leaders. I do not see why Russian tenants should have the privileges of earning foreign currency when the Ukraine tenants have had to flee. War is not fair.

True, athletes and companies that operate on an international front are being sanctioned, but that is not against the athletes themselves.

That statement makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Of course the athletes themselves are suffering, they have lost the ability to earn an income. Why should VHTV not have the same punishment.

There are no innocent Russians, they are the only ones who can get rid of their leaders. I do not see why Russian tenants should have the privileges of earning foreign currency when the Ukraine tenants have had to flee.

It is always the innocent who pay the price never the perpetrator

Unfortunately that is generally true but he and his henchmen will get their comeuppance eventually, we all hope whilst many innocents have lost family

The Russian people are the only ones who can remove him from power. outside interferences could bring about consequences like the world has never seen. It would be the end of the world as we know it. The reason why NATO do not want to get involved as there is a sociopath with his finger on a nuclear arsenal.

Many a true word eh but we can all only hope it’s sooner rather than later.

toujours trĂšs facile de donner des conseils aux gens du peuple russe ," ils ont qu’a chassĂ© Poutine"
Surtout derniĂšre un ordinateur oĂč l’on peut dire ce que l’on veut sans aucune crainte ,sans risquer 15 ans de prison. Moi je ne juge pas les peuples surtout qu’en ils subissent la propagande d’état.
Apprécions notre liberté et aidons les ukrainiens ou les russes emprisonnés.

Don’t know if this was already posted.

Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy met with US senators and members of Congress on Saturday to discuss additional support needs for his country, while Russia’s President Putin met with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in Moscow about the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, the Russian defense ministry said in a statement that it was declaring a ceasefire and opening “humanitarian corridors” to allow civilians to leave the cities of Mariupol and Volnovakha. But Mariupol deputy mayor Serhiy Orlov told the BBC that “the Russians are continuing to bomb us and use artillery” despite the ceasefire.

You are a gem of a person. Respect !!!
