Russian invasion of Ukraine

What should we do? Nothing, because it most likely won't help.

We actually can do something - like spreading awareness by protesting near embassies / writing your MPs or "fighting on the front of information" - which is quite big here in Lithuania and some cases are bizarre - like spamming random Russian numbers with messages like:

"Hello - as you know there's a war in Ukraine and we're doing a survey - would you go fighting if you were drafted? Reply 'No' or 'Yes'"

And people actually reply "Nyet! Nyet!" - of course everything's in Russian.

More "real" help would be donating money to various organisations (either for refugees or for soldiers) or clothing. Unless you imply that even that kind of help likely won't help - which is of course possible.

Even more "real" help is going near Polish border and volunteering.

And the "realest" help, of course, would be enlisting in a foreigners legion of Ukraine. I've read that around 20 thousand people from 52 countries enlisted, some of them are already fighting.

Just saw this: some ex military from England are already there. https://twitter.com/nexta_tv/status/1500706664630165507

I'm saying that we are not helping other opressed people with similar needs today so how do we choose? On what basis do Ukranians deserve help but Palestianans and Yemanis do not? Or Somalis?

The sad and obvious truth is that we can't help everyone. We can't solve all the problems.
I choose caring for Ukraine because it's 500 kilometers from my hometown and we share the same heritage of Soviet Occupation.

There's plenty of evil in the world but if we switch subject from Ukraine to Yemenis or Uyghurs then it's nothing but whataboutism.
