Speaking to reporters this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the future he sees for his country in unusual terms: as “a big Israel.”
Gone, he said, are hopes for “an absolutely liberal” state—replaced by the likely reality of armed defense forces patrolling movie theaters and supermarkets. “I’m confident that our security will be the number-one issue over the next ten years,” Zelenskyy added.
Not beating the allegiations, it's basically the same what Israel write, you can see the effects of it in Gaza and Lebanon, just as you could see the effect of the Ukrainian version in Donbas. But i guess that full scale genocide is more medial and morally pure than prevented one.
defending fascist, far-right states are we? the carnage must continue, unnumered more innocents must suffer and die before the modern liberal can admit they've been lied to by their own governments? i know by experience that it sucks to own up that you've been had (i used to be a unquestioning slava ukrainer) but admitting the problem exists is the first step towards fixing it. in the fight against imperialism both Ukraine('s current government) and Israel (the entire settler-colonial project) are deeply on the side of imperialism, as well as being absolutely fascist states. neither can bring peace for their people or anyone else involved, because they both only exist to provide war for US imperial ambitions.

Did you read the article? It explains what Zelenskyy meant with that statement. It's even written as a nifty bulleted list.

And now the Nazis have advanced military training and billions of dollars.
