10/ A victory for Ukraine is a victory for all who believe in justice, sovereignty, and the right to self-determination.

And that’s why the stakes couldn’t be higher.

9/ The war in Ukraine challenges democracies to live up to their ideals.

It forces hard choices, but it also reminds us why those ideals matter in the first place.

8/ Critics might say democracies are hypocritical. They aren’t wrong—there’s no perfect system.

But imperfection doesn’t invalidate the principle that aggression must be resisted.

7/ The international support for Ukraine isn’t perfect or altruistic, but it reflects a shared understanding: defending Ukraine is defending the rules-based order that keeps the world from spiraling into chaos.

6/ This war is also a battle of narratives. Russia argues strength justifies actions.

Democracies argue principles—sovereignty, self-determination, and human rights—are worth defending, even when 'inconvenient'.

5/ "Might makes right" is a relic of a world without accountability.

Democracies operate on the belief that legitimacy comes from people, not from tanks or missiles.

4/ Democracies worldwide are rallying not because Ukraine is flawless, but because allowing authoritarianism to win anywhere erodes freedom everywhere.

3/ If unchecked, the invasion of Ukraine sets a dangerous precedent: that power can override sovereignty, that borders are negotiable if force is used, and that democracy can be bullied into submission.

2/ Ukraine may not be a perfect democracy, but this war isn't just about their system of governance.

It's about the global symbolism of standing up to aggression and rejecting the idea that "might makes right."

Republic to Democracy is the same as a Kingdom to Monarchy
