Russia -ukraine War:the Lost Of Manpower And Vulnerabilities by ariesbull: 10:32am On Dec 05, 2022 |
According to the Vice President of the World Bank, by the end of the year in Ukraine, 8 million people will be below the poverty line, and the poverty rate itself will increase from 2% to 25%. The mayor of Kiev was also reported to have told the citizens to start making plans to migrate to other European countries and cities because Russia has practically destroyed the energy and transport infrastructure and in another one or two weeks winter will be in full swing. Again, I ask, to what end are these people expected to fight a war they can not win. I can understand other Europeans or Americans who are invested in fighting an ideological war with Russia saying "we will continue to support them with weapons to the very end", it is not their cities that are being destroyed, or their people being killed but from the perspective of an ordinary Ukrainian, this is no help. Your home, sources of livelihood being destroyed, kits and kin being killed all for what, freedom to join NATO or force a region of the country who clearly no longer wants to be part of Ukraine? Seeing what is happening now, I am sure if they are given the option again to choose between a neutral Ukraine who respects the Minsk agreement and the current Ukraine whose infrastructure has been wrecked by the Russians and have lost over 100k soldiers according to Ursula Vonderleyen and still counting, and its people are fleeing the country while its government has been reduced to begging for weapons and money to sustain itself, they will definitely choose the latter. This also brings home the Biafra clamour, I have always been of the opinion that if Nigeria will continue to operate like it is doing, we are better off on our own BUT on the condition that it is a peaceful secession probably based on referendum or a plebiscite not through the force of war. War is not pleasant and should be avoided by all means, even if the greatest powers promise to support the cause, if there is any opportunity for peaceful resolution and agreement, the wise thing to do is choose it, especially if it is a war against a foe that it is clear to everyone is an overmatch. All I can do is pity and pray for the ordinary Ukrainians who are the main casualties here Unegbu Onyema Steven 1 Like
