While I respect the yearning to be free the sad truth is that most Ukes are one generation from being Russian anyway. When Russia takes over there will be a period of adjustment and then things will go back to normal.
War is good for arms and munition makers but all of our tax money will make no difference. We could have dumped our money down the crapper - same effect.
Everything you think is true about Russia is already true of Ukraine and more true of us.
