Canadian's Shift from Humanitarian Aid to Military Support in Ukraine

I'm Canadian. I came to Ukraine in 2022 with this idea

that I would only

ever do humanitarian aid. I wouldn't wanna get involved in a

military

conflict. I didn't wanna help soldiers with any sort

of th- aid that could help

them, uh, hurt other people.

I came with this idea that Russians were oppressed for a long

time, and that they didn't know what they

were doing.

They, they didn't know what was happening in Ukraine, and time

and time again,

I was proved wrong.

It didn't take a few months before I started helping soldiers with small

things.

I have watched for four fucking years as people defend

Russia and say, "What about the people of Donbas since

2014?"

And today, in Donbas, in my city of Kramatorsk, the Russians

killed at least 30 people and injured at least 18 more,

and you know what their

crime was? Taking the bus.

They took the bus, and Russia is their neighbor,

and you don't see those people saying a goddamn thing about it.

Now, in 2026, I am a soldier.

I have so much hate and anger towards every single Russian.

If you aren't protesting, if you aren't using your free time to

speak up against

your government, you are garbage. You are absolutely nothing.

You aren't even worth the oxygen that you breathe.

I can't do a damn thing about what happened today,

but I have a bunch of fuel behind me that's-

I'm about to put into my vehicle and

make sure it gets out to soldiers, so it can burn your blindages, it can burn

your positions, and I can at least contribute to getting

you the

fuck out of this country.

I have no patience in my life anymore for anybody who sympathizes with

Russia. Fuck every single one of them.
