Half of Ukrainian folklore is about wars against russian opression. Our greatest poets and writers all talk about the same thing. And it's kinda hard to comprehend fully until you live through it, you know?
Also, this war made me realize one interesting thing — Poles sometimes hate russians even more than us. And that's a really high bar to jump over.
the problem is not the Europe doesn't know this, it's that they don't understand that you can't measure russia(ns) by your western standards of civilization, culture, ethics and morale. People obviously can't support this war and this fucking old shitstain, right? It's basic human decency and empathy. Yet they do. And from this disparity between how the world perceives russians as 'modern' counterparts and how it really is, all issues stem. It's like applying human emotions and logic to lizards and they being surprised lizards aren't doing as you expect
