Darializa Avila Chevalier Yeah, I will be clear. I don’t think I have ever felt— Like, I’ve never seen Russia’s invasion on Ukraine as one where Ukraine wasn’t the victim of an invasion. I have always seen that as Russia invading Ukraine, and violating its sovereignty. And if I remember correctly, my larger critique was one of global systems where you have imperialist powers engaging in constant violence in a war machine, right? And where we rush to engage in armed conflict over diplomacy. I think with regards to Ukraine, so many lives have been lost, and from the very beginning, I’ve said I worry about the impact of this war on the larger global context, where now we’re seeing more and more wars since that one started across the globe. And, you know, I think we really need to make sure that we are putting diplomacy first to actually save human lives. And I think we have de-centered that in these conversations, the human impact of this war machine, this constant rush to engage in armed conflict.
