GaveUp comments on How do you know if protests in a country are actual protests or just western backed color revolution protests?

but even western Ukrainian citizens only have so much of my sympathy

Ukrainians voted in Zelenskyy because he ran on a platform of stopping the conflict and killings in Donbas, remember

You are both correct. On an individual oblast level his highest support was in the east. That being said he did win the other oblasts except for Lviv but by a more narrow margin

That is a good point and I agree up to a point, but like I said my sympathy is limited, not nonexistent.

Ukraine is actually resisting, they were couped at least 5 times to keep them in fold, 1991, 2004, 2014, 2021, 2022. I'm afraid that they are on their last legs though.
