Stealing food is on whole other level and ai'm not sure whether comparison Gaza to Ukraine is correct. I can only speak about my country, and the fact is the mass censorship and bullshittery were NOT caused by the external agressor and thus getting rid of them will NOT help the fundamental issues here.
In 2014, Ukraine overthrew a corrupt Russian puppet president and called for a new election. Instead of participating, the puppet fled, and Ukrainians discovered his palace.
Were you aware of this?
Dude, I live here, ofc I am. The Maidan merely helped a group of pro-Western oligarchy shift power on their side from the pro-Russian oligarchy. It didn't solve corruption, it didn't solve the problems, it didn't help the economy etc.
It removed a Russian puppet leader. Now there is no foreign puppet in charge of the country. This alone is a huge change, doesn't sound like it's "merely" a shift.
Edit: more significant than even I thought.
Using LGBT rights and antisemitism (and even censorship!) as a metric, I'm pretty sure you would agree that leaning towards "pro western" values is preferable to what Russia is doing in their country and to their puppet states.
The West is currently participating in a genocide.
