Also my country is suffering so much this war and price of oil at the moment is so high. But this are the circumstances of some mistakes made during the years. We were too much influenced from the

supply of Oil & Gas from Russia and now we're paying consequences.

Of course the sanctions hurt us, but we still must stand up and speak our minds. Everyone must be aware of the consequences, but they still want to fight. We must stand up together, united. I support the boycotts and sanctions against the Russia for their actions. This is the only way to show our serious reaction to these kinds of events. We must stand up and unite. Putin has got a lot of cards in his hands and I think he will go for the whole basket. The United States in return, will want to show their power and will increase their military support in the region. I believe that we can survive without our gas supplies from Russia. We will survive, we still can make alternative supplies, but it takes time. I do not like these sanctions against Russia, because it harms my country and it harms the economy of my country. But, at the same time, these sanctions are a way of showing that you will not allow this kind of things to happen, and showing the unity of Europe.

I just find it unfair that the innocent ones have to suffer too. I know the people in Ukraine even civilians are being killed due to the conflict, but isn't that enough lesson already to set aside impulsiveness and hatred? Because there are already people dying and there are a lot of businesses and structures that has been damaged already due to being self-righteous of Putin. For me, we're supposed to be more compassionate and empathetic rather becoming more like him.

Sadly, sometimes we lose track of ourselves in the process of loathing someone that we become the people we hate. I know that there are people dying and with that, we shouldn't add more. Boycotting these sites means downfall of the owners and their livelihood. During this time of calamity where covid-19 is still evolving and isn't totally eliminated yet, and having a conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with these challenges, people are still facing a lot of struggles. Struggle to get by is the problem of the majority. I hope we don't inflict more pain to those people who are suffering already.
