Interesting! I am from Donetsk myself, but left in 2014. I am pretty much united with my Russian friends on the topic of destroying putin's regime. Not sure if any other unity makes sense now.

putin has objectively caused a lot of harm, and desire for carnage is understandable, yet if we are to break this cycle, we should make the format of Nuremberg trials the new norm and make it so that even if we want to, we can't start a new war. unity around hatred is fleeting, temporary, and often leads to overcorrection, such as me being harassed for talking to my mother in Russian (I also fluently speak in Ukrainian and tell them go fuck themselves using all the regional swears I collected all over Ukraine) or Israeli having to apologize themselves for Netanyahu's decisions.

and everyday matters? they are boring and important, and if someone dares to touch the supply chain, they should face all the economic repercussions imaginable. ideally, this will make punishment for war immediate, inherent, and structural. and if we take it further into pony land, we may deprecate the military because its purpose will be carried by Brenda sitting behind a desk with Excel (or LibreOffice Calc) before her. :)
