"condoning killing people"
Simply by being in Kyiv, Russians are trying to kill me. In the past few weeks visiting Kyiv and Odesa I've been within 1-2kms of an explosion from Russian air raids three or four times. That's a genuine threat to my life and everyone around me.
Do I "lose my credibility" by condoning the killing of the evil people trying to kill myself and other Ukrainians to steal land and resources?
What do you think Ukrainians should be doing to prevent themselves getting killed?

I’d suggest elections and see what the people want with opposition parties allowed to stand
Ukrainians don't want to get invaded. If anything, feelings towards Russia are at an all time low right now. Especially in areas in Ukraine that are closest to Russia, for the simple reason that those areas got massacred.
Holding elections right now is of course both illegal – the Ukrainian constitution forbids them during war – and obviously unfair and impractical– large chunks of Ukraine would have no way to vote.
oh yeah, how about we go move to a village in kursk, lol, there you can get bombed by ukrainians, what's the difference, it's a frickin war zone, are you out of your mind? or are they paying you too much to stay there?
Refugees from Ukraine live next to me, and it's not just one family, it's thousands of people. Now Kyiv is 'signing bombs,' and they are meant for them as well. I think they would be more pleased with Bitcoin.
With regards to your last sentence. Defecting and escaping is what a normal sane minded person would try to do. Instead of being a sitting duck and potentially one conscripted to fight yet another stupid bloody war.
what any sane person does when trouble happens, get the fuck out
otherwise you are effectively a combatant or will at minimum be used as a human shield by combatants
have fun in the war zone tho, i'm sure it will be exciting when the air raid sirens go off and when the building you are in caves in on you
Ah yes, so Ukrainians should just abandon their homes and businesses.
And where does this stop? Do all 40 million Ukrainians just flee to the EU? What happens when Russian troops are at the Polish border and decide to take the first town?
Should they all run too?
Do you just flee indefinitely whenever someone points a gun at you?
Ah a true patriot.
