1. “The average Ukrainian citizen has no more freedom than the average Russian citizen.” This claim is asserted but not argued for. Care to elaborate?

2. An invasion can be provoked without being justified. Do you believe Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was justified?

"I oppose Ukraine’s cause in the war because Ukraine is fighting to expand the EU and the EU is an evil totalitarian regime. Russia is not much (or really any) better than the EU, but the EU is currently more powerful than Russia, so it would be good for Russia to win in order to preserve a balance of power."

This seems absolutely mad to me.

1) In what way is the EU totalitarian?

2) What is your problem with the EU in general?

3) In what way is Russia better (both as a country to live in and to be influenced by externally)?

4) How would this balance of power be beneficial to anyone other than the Russians?
