Well hats off for the PR move. Good way to balance out the recent string of mistakes on that front.
PS: I say it's a PR move because 70 doesn't sound like very many from a practical perspective, but forest fires aren't a thing where I live so I could be wrong.
Well that's a tangent that doesn't address anything I said. What exactly am I supposed to do with it? Also "if you genuinely support Ukraine be genuine about it" is straight up word salad and I have no idea what you're trying to say.
Okay the original is still a word salad but now I somewhat understand what you're trying to say, so here goes: Why did you assume this was a statement of support? I mean I do support Ukraine in its fight against Russia (no strong opinions about it outside of that context), but either way there's no deeper meaning here, positive or negative. I'd have said the same thing if it was, say, Lithuania. You can have your parasocial relationship with Ukraine, but I'll ask that you leave me out of it.

... Bro fuck off lol.
Everyone expects Ukraine to act perfectly. No infighting, no second guessing, no mistakes.
Meanwhile look at the actions of any major country.
Your comment is dumb. If you genuinely support Ukraine be genuine about it.
"hAtS ofF fOR ThE pR mOvE" so dumb.

Word salad?
If you're genuinely supportive of your friend support them.
If you're genuinely a kind person at heart be kind.
You're being dishonest in your "support" it's a backhanded compliment, it's called Christian kindness from where I am from.
If you wanna be a stickler about it you'd call it tautological. There is an intended emphasis on it which is why it is repeated twice.
"Be who you are"
"Let your yes be yes and your no be no"
"Mean what you say, say what you mean"
Maybe it isn't as clean and pretty but I'm not out here writing fucking sonnets and epics to respond to your disingenuous comment.
