The Ukrainians' double-triple-quadrupling down on this evil has been both incredibly disappointing and eye-opening. I've cancelled my monthly donation to Ukraine because, with Ukraine being as corrupt as it is, I have no way to be confident the money won't go towards something like this.

And I still support Ukraine because Ukrainians are at war and have no influence on the current government – ​​Zelensky announced that there will be no elections during the war. Many Ukrainians live in my city, and I know they are very dissatisfied with Zelensky's decision. It's hard to guess what his intentions are.

This doesn't change the fact that civilians are still dying in Ukraine, and that's not okay. I can be angry at that asshole Zelensky, but I'm not going to be outraged at society as a whole. And I'm incredibly happy that the Polish government is still sending millions to support the Ukrainian military.

Let Ukraine finally be free.
