    Ukraine’s support from other countries relies heavily on them having and maintaining the moral high ground.

      Which makes them winning (sadly slowly, but still doing it) so much more impressive. They’re fighting an invasion of their country where the enemy has no moral obligations but they themselves need to be real fucking careful about what they do, even for stuff within their country. As far as I know they have only attacked Russian infrastructure and military sites with reason within Russian borders. Meanwhile Russia have bombed and shot at hospitals, apartment buildings, kindergartens, shopping malls with people standing in line to get the little produce available etc. But they’re still beating them. It’s slow and it fucking sucks so much how much they have lost, but they’re still doing it.
