Ukraine isn't that big. A person can walk across it rather easily. So, why do the people still sit there rather than getting out? They know a war is on. And they know of the power of Russia. So, why do they still sit there?
If the people are supporting Zelensky, they are part of the war. Civilians who support Zelensky are supporters of the war on the side of Zelensky and the US. They are stating that they are enemies of Russia through their support, even if that support is only cheering Zelensky's army on. And since this war was started by the government of Ukraine back in 2014, the so-called civilian supporters of Zelensky are part of the war.
Those Ukrainians who are smart, already walked (if they didn't drive) out of Ukraine long ago. Those who are/were in favor of Russia, moved to Russia long ago. Those who are left after the recent bombings have a choice. What will they do? Stay and support Zelensky and the US? Or move out now before the bombing gets really heavy?
You did not sound well as for me. You would been a neutral person on such issue. Because when two countries are in war the non actor countries' citizens should be a neutral body to settle the dispute so that there will be peace among the conflicting parties. Now, you are saying that Ukraine citizens should left the country because they are not party to the war. One of the duty of of a citizen is to defend her or his country whenever there is an external aggression to the country. It is not only the military is to defend a nation but the citizens are also on the contract. And also the citizens can not leave their country otherwise they are cowardice. And it is not easy to go start new life in another country. I don't think the people are supporting Zelensky, nobody support bad thing (coup) but it is inevitable to humanity and you cant let it die. Ukrainians have to defend their country to the last person blood dropped. In a war not everyone can stand and defend, some have to run while the brave ones have to stay.
I am not supporting Ukrain and Russia. Let their be peace amongs.
When citizens of a country at war decide to uphold their country, they have made themselves part of the war. They should expect that they might become victims or casualties of that war.
In the case of Ukraine, it is really the US against Russia. The US is simply using the Ukraine as the battlefield. Most of the Ukrainians recognize this, and are in favor of Russia kicking the US and its puppet (Zelensky) out. All that Russia was doing was finding Russian sympathizers who have been living in Ukraine for decades, and attempting to protect them from the US.
Since Russia has stepped back in parts of its work in Ukraine - mostly because its goals have been reached - when the Ukraine military attempts to attack the Russian positions, they can expect that Russia will fight back.
Many Ukrainian citizens have moved out... some because they fear Russia, but many who don't like what the US and the Zelensky puppet government are doing. If they stay and support US/Zelensky aggression, they can expect that they might be hurt.
Let there be peace. Let the US depart, and let the people of Ukraine elect their REAL leader.
