"The fight is here. I need ammunition, not a ride?"

These words were Ukrainian President Zelenskiy's response to NATO's offer to help him flee Kyiv and possibly set up a government in exile. The courage of the Ukrainian people in the face of Russia's immoral invasion is beyond any measure of bravery I've ever seen. If the Russian people had the courage of the Ukrainians, Putin would be ejected tomorrow and swinging from the end of a rope the day after. I stand with Ukraine. My only regret is I am unable to be there raining high-angle hell down on Russian soldiers' heads.

Meanwhile Putin is in a mountain one of the safest mountains in the world or bunkers how ever in a bunker under a mountain. People i do not know whats wrong with them but if that is not obvious, what ever? They always think but if Putin wins he will reward me great for my loyalty. Where you one of his top guys no, he will not and also if his top guy fails they get killed.Zelenskiy's says I have no money but you will be free as you choose and proud. I take that any day of a lifetime.

@DWDavis I think we all hope like Hitler just do it for us, no one needs that kind of drama. They win to a point but they never win.

I strongly admire the resolve of the Ukrainian president to stand with his people and in the face of evil. I stand with Ukraine, and I stand with her people, and hope this conflict ends soon with Ukraine coming out the absolute victor.

I also am impressed by how the president of Ukraine manages to stay in his turf and fight along with his people. I think he is in a very dangerous situation right now since he will definitely be the main target of the invading Russian military if ever they are able to come in.

@DWDavis Oh I guess the Ukrainian military still has some advantage in their own territory but I doubt if they can do that in Russian territory.

So sad, I am sure they will be overpowered. I am not sure how a govt. in exile would work with the Russians in control.

The Russians may occupy Ukraine but will never control it. Putin will find himself in a protracted insurrection and no Russian anywhere in Ukraine will be safe.

The Ukrainians will eventually win as long as they don't quit. The Russians can't win if the Ukrainians keep fighting. Eventually, the Russian people will tire of their sons dying for nothing more than Putin's ego.

Came across this article: Russians not siding with Putin. https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/lifestyle-buzz/prince-william-and-kate-middleton-release-statement-in-support-of-ukraine-we-stand-with-the-president-and-all-of-ukraine-s-people/ar-AAUlx2y
Ukraine invasion: Thousands take to the streets in Russia to say ‘no to war’
indianexpress.com
Defying police warnings, people took to central squares and protest against the military campaign. Some risked arrest in order to voice their opposition to the invasion. Over 1000 were later detained.

I heard that Russian cops have started arresting protestors. I hope the more they arrest, the more take to the streets.

@DWDavis Just saw about it on this evening news. The war is so unwanted! Locally, across Hawaiian islands, people came out in support for Ukraine. British Royals- Prince Charles, Prince William & Prince Harry all support Ukraine.

He has shown many times that he is a fighting president. We all stand with Ukraine. We do not want war but we want to see an end of Russia's invasion. We all know that will only happen if Putin is taken out of the picture.

Ukraine is giving Russia more of a fight than they thought they would give.

And NATO countries are finally stepping up and pouring the weapons into Ukraine. The question now is, how many Russian soldiers will die for Putin's sociopathy before the Russian people throw him down.
