‘Are you ready to trade children’s lives for borders?’ Social media users supported the call of Ukrainian bloggers to stop the war

After comments by well-known bloggers stating that “the war needs to be stopped by any means,” a loud scandal erupted online.

The popular Instagram public page “News of a Healthy Person” posted a collection of all the bloggers’ publications and statements on the topic, urging followers to “reconsider their subscriptions,” hinting at the need to unfollow those advocating for the immediate cessation of the war.

However, in the comments under the post, the majority of users supported the bloggers:

“They told the truth. Politicians are playing with people’s lives, bastards. Stop the war already, people, children are dying every day.”

“Just ask yourself one single question, just one. And give an honest answer. Are you ready to exchange the lives of your children, your loved ones for the borders of 1991? That’s it. If you’re not ready, then why should others be?”

“They’re telling the truth, and we don’t like that.”

“I think they’re right, each of these bloggers is against the war and genocide! And against the authorities! And what has the government done to stop the war? Just continues it.”

“It’s no secret that society has big questions for the authorities, and voicing them doesn’t mean spreading ‘betrayal’.”

“Since when did the truth start being considered criticism?”

However, there were also those who did not support the bloggers’ statements and called for the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) to intervene: “What scum. Where is the SBU? What are they doing? This is an article: encroachment on territorial integrity and state sovereignty. They should be jailed for this.”
