I can't speak for all Ukrainians, obviously, but what I and most of my friends and family want is simple: peace and open borders. I, personally, also want to see the current fascist government and the military hanging.

Ukrainians, en masse, always wanted peace. Zelensky was elected on the peaceful platform, since people were tired of Poroshenko's attempts to trigger a war, but as soon as he was in the office, he did an immediate 180. The issue is, advocating for peace gets you jailed and tortured in Ukraine, so you won't hear much of these voices. What you hear are the rabid dogs of the regime, who feed off the war in one way or the other.

Everyone here is insanely tired. I can't leave my house, because I fear being kidnapped by the recruiter goons. I don't know how much longer I can take, and I'm seriously contemplating suicide at times. I miss my fiancee, who's abroad and can't come here, and I can't go to her. Just let this end, please.

I really, really hope that it'll speed up the US dumping Ukraine.

With every passing day I'm more and more sure that I'm going to die here. They just won't quit until Ukraine is an irradiated wasteland, won't they? I don't have any hope anymore.

At least those genshin money are being put into good use.

God, please, just let this shitshow end already.

Franky, I'm so tired at this point that I feel like it'll go on like this forever. I can't imagine going back to normal life anymore. What is even "normal"...

This has been the reality for past two years, but now it's suddenly an issue?

Thank you, comrade... I'm just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I'll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.

It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I'm so tired... It's hard to imagine normal life now.

He was a comedian, but not a stand-up comedian.

I live in Ukraine, so as you can imagine, liberals here have long since gone full fash. The situation here is a really good illustration for the old "scratch a liberal" adage: a lot of people have been more than scratched, and in response they've went absolutely rabid.

Late 20s. Do you mean the general ways to escape it or how I personally do it?

I live in fear conscription and hope of borders opening. The second they do, I'm leaving this dump forever.

When I watched them dismantle USSR's coat of arms on the Motherland Monument in Kyev, I had that wretched feeling in my guts. I have no motherland anymore.
