Ukraine and Russia

Ukraine and Russia 

Dini Harmita 

Since it takes maybe at least a week for me to finish my paper so I decided to write here. Believe me I am not the expert of those two countries but I think I can categorize myself as one of the experts of such relationship where Russia feels threaten by the modern Ukraine. Paul Kirby from BBC stated the list of unequal power of war equipment and infrastructure around an hour ago. Russia’s attack aircraft reaches 1,511 while Ukraine only has 98. They’re basically creating their own version of genocide instead of preventing it, just like what the General of Myanmar did to Rohingya. 

Several medias mentioned that China and India are remain silenced while US has been proposing several punishments for Russia’s international law disobedience. The problem is not only because we don’t have an official international institution enacting such laws but also this kind of relationship and propaganda has been embedded in the bloods of dictatorship who is currently fulled with uncertainty fears.

Before going to the swimming pool, there was actually a stalker number in front of the mall. The motorbike rents were also filled with ones. Nevertheless I chose to ignore and I found in only seconds the car in front of the mall was suddenly angry and left, then the news about the Ukraine came one hour before I finished my swimming lesson. While from the motorbike driver I learned a lot of course, as always. As I mentioned in my social media, this time I learned about corruption in the local elite level. 

So what we can we do? Unfortunately nothing. Only Putin himself can change even a single thing. Which means, if you want to make things better you need to reach not only his ears but also his heart. So, surviving, is only one of the limited ways that civilians can do right now. While the world is doing their jobs, including the journalist who amazingly reported live from Ukraine in eight languages, the related sides should ensure to lessen and if possible zero the casualties.
