This discussion raises the question of transition from war to freedom. The history of wars of independence in colonized countries shows that after decolonization there were be two generations of authoritarian rule and and new violence. The thing is complicated. Where is Ukraine now and what is the best way forward ? Best to stay away from any ideology, blame, cult of victory.
