After the missile attack on Kyiv, which damaged the Okhmatdyt children's hospital, several well-known Ukrainian bloggers began to express opinions on social networks about the need to stop hostilities by any means.
For example, blogger Vladislava Rogovenko stated that "hates power on both sides" and in context she called the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky a “clown.”
"I am shocked by the latest news. Let this clown go and negotiate peace. How much more needs to happen? My rage is boundless. I hate this government.»
Blogger from Ivano-Frankivsk Yulia Verba accused the Ukrainian authorities of corruption.
"The world watches and is silent. Our country is being robbed by our own leaders. Children are dying, people are suffering. Our plans and dreams are disappearing.»
Alexander Voloshin said that «we must be smarter than them.»
«In this game you need to play by their rules, and then at one stage, change the rules so that they suddenly end up losing.”
Mila Baraeva wrote that “she doesn’t care how this happens, as long as the children don’t suffer anymore.”
"Stop it already, whatever way it is. I don’t care, the main thing is that children no longer suffer from your political games.”
Actress Natalka Denisenko spoke about “the energy of sacrifice that led to the war.”
“This energy of aggression, hatred and curses — it destroys us.»
After bloggers spoke about the need to stop hostilities, a serious scandal broke out on social networks. The well-known public page “News of a Healthy Person” in Ukraine published a post in which he collected all the statements of bloggers on this topic and called on his subscribers to “reconsider their subscriptions,” hinting at the possibility of unsubscribing from them.
However, the public administrators seriously miscalculated. In the comments under the publication, most users, on the contrary, expressed support and solidarity with the bloggers.
"They are telling the truth. Politicians are playing with people's lives, it's terrible. It's time to stop this war, people and children are dying every day."
"Imagine one question and give an honest answer. Are you ready to sacrifice the lives of your children and relatives for the sake of the 1991 borders? If not, why should others?"
"They are telling the truth, but we don't like them for it."
"I think they are right. Each of these bloggers is against war and genocide, against the current government. But what is the government doing to stop the war? Nothing, it just continues.»
«Society hasn't liked the government for a long time, and that doesn't mean that criticism should be persecuted.»
«Since when has the truth been considered criticism?»
Nevertheless, there were those who didn't support the bloggers' statements and called on the SBU to intervene in the situation.
Meanwhile, Zelensky in Washington, speaking about Ukraine's goals in the conflict, first stated that for him, preserving people and the state was more important than returning the territory. And he immediately demanded that Russia withdraw its troops to the 1991 borders. And only then would negotiations be possible.
