Will the world send rescue teams to the Ukrainian front line?

Ukrainian mental stability isn’t always doing great during the war.

I’m not talking about the shark memes and Arestovych, who is not happy the shark ate a Russian citizen and wants others not to gloat. It is not about this case. Everything is clear with Arestovych. And with the shark as well. And, according to the reaction of Ukrainians, with our mental state as well.

There is another topic that is being widely spread and discussed by Ukrainians. The idea that we are being abandoned once again, of course. The claim that no country sent rescuers after the HPP explosion has gained popularity. However, Ukrainians did offer help to Turkey. Our rescuers provided help after the earthquake. But there is no one in the Kherson region.

As a result, the conclusion will be soon used by Eurosceptics and individuals like Arestovych —  we have all been betrayed. The West is abandoning us, and so on.

By the way, this is one of the most popular ideas spread by Russian propaganda.

“So, no one has sent their rescuers. Yes. But why? Because, damn it, this is the front line! What is so difficult to understand? The tragedy happened on the front line. And does anyone really want  volunteers and rescuers from other countries to go there?”

So, no one has sent their rescuers. Yes. But why? Because, damn it, this is the front line! What is so difficult to understand? The tragedy happened on the front line. And does anyone really want  volunteers and rescuers from other countries to go there? Do you really wonder why people from other countries do not want to face Russian bullets? It is simply impossible to compare the situation in Kherson with, for example, the earthquake in Turkey. A natural disaster happened there. And people responded. Putin's war crime took place in Ukraine. And Putin's shells are flying over flooded zoos and houses. If you can't see the difference, I feel sorry for you.

This is also a manifestation of psychological fatigue from the war. And immense infantilism.

The talk that we are not being helped comes against the backdrop of record budget support. Record support with weapons. And even against the background of statements by Japan and other countries to provide financial assistance to combat the consequences of the crime committed by Putin. But still people are miserable. People turn off their brains. And they blame the West instead of looking in the direction of the one who is really guilty.

People's complaints about lack of assistance come at a time when we receive a significant amount of financial support. Record funds for weapons. In fact, countries like Japan have also pledged to provide financial aid to help us deal with the aftermath of Putin's actions. However, despite this support, many people choose to complain. They turn off their brains, choosing to ignore the facts, and instead blame the West, rather than holding the real culprit accountable.

“People's complaints about lack of assistance come at a time when we receive a significant amount of financial support. Record funds for weapons.

Yes, there are different voices in the West. And even voices that spread conspiracy theories. And yes, these voices are loud and they shout first. Because it doesn't take much time for a conspiracy theory to be spread. It takes time to conduct solid analysis and make thorough conclusions. And if one popular conspiracy blogger spreads a conspiracy theory that Ukraine blew up their own dam, this does not mean that the West is abandoning us. It just means that the weirdo is saying what his audience wants to hear. Just like Arestovych, who says what his audience wants to hear about the shark and the Russian citizen. That's what it is. And such audiences exist everywhere. No one will really draw conclusions about Ukrainians based on Shariy's next crazy video, right?

Therefore, no, the West is not betraying us. And yes, the West understands perfectly who committed yet another war crime, and all the officials have stated this. And yes, they will help us financially to overcome the consequences first and rebuild later. And no, no one sane would ever send rescuers to the front line where the literal war is ongoing.

Sometimes you have to calm down your emotions. And think rationally. Because your mental stability does suffer from the war. Even if you don't realize it.
