With our right to vote, which they so conveniently forget when it comes to the cost – our cost – of their decisions.

As if the lives of Ukrainians are your property or slaves to be forever sacrificed for your interests!

Ukraine is not a field for experiments.

We are living people.
With our own destinies, families, hopes.
With our own pain, which none of them will ever share.

And we won't drown the entire nation and the country's gene pool for the sake of your games and ambitions.

After all, if you wanted Ukraine to win, you would have done everything for it long ago.

But they all don't care about Ukraine!

But when was the last time anyone asked these people?

And no. Ukrainians don't want to capitulate to the aggressor. Because we know where that will lead.

But we won't be an eternal resource in your geopolitical games.

We're tired of being used as statistics, as a "combat resource," as an argument at conferences and negotiations. We're tired of paying the highest price for other people's decisions.

Everyone talks about the "will of the people."

And who did they ask?
Those who risk their lives every day? No.
Those whose homes burned down? No.
Those who live on the border and hear artillery more often than the voices of their own children? Also no.

.. who should go to the front, who should die, what the "correct" position is, when "we must endure."

Politicians, advisers, their children, the elite—they don't stand waist-deep in mud in trenches, don't die under bombs, don't lose their health, don't lose their families. But for some reason, they feel entitled to decide for millions of Ukrainians:

We are tired of everything being decided for us. I'm tired of the country's fate being decided by people who don't live to the sound of sirens, don't run for cover in the middle of the night, don't bury friends and family every day. Who will never truly feel the pain of ordinary people!

But for some reason, they decided they have the right to make this choice for millions of people. Who will die? Does Ukraine want peace? Or do they want to continue fighting?

Those who will never see the front, and those who will never die for this country.

But they are the ones who decided they have the right to decide the fates of others. But these are not the people who gave them life, and it is certainly not for them to decide their fates!

And these are ordinary soldiers on the front lines, ordinary citizens of Ukraine, who endure shelling, bombing, and attacks daily.

And these people are not politicians (as in Ukraine, and especially abroad), not their children, not the elite, and not other "castes" or "masters of life."

And Ukraine will decide for itself what's acceptable, because our future and the lives of our people are at stake!

The decision about Ukraine's future must be made by those who give their health every day, who sacrifice everything, including their lives, for the sake of the people and Ukraine.

But the very phrase "A peace plan for Ukraine will not be accepted without coordination with Europe," is a BIT MUCH!

They're not the ones fighting and losing men!
Your soldiers aren't dying on the front lines! And your troops aren't here.

This doesn't mean Europe's opinion won't be taken into account at all. It's a partner that supported Ukraine in this war. And the shared security of Ukraine and Europe is important. No one denies that.
