Qazaqs know that the world would care little if russia attacked and genocided us, and we still stand with Ukraine. We know that we would share the fate of Chechens, Georgians, Syrians. We still stand with Ukraine.
Ukraine will become EU, we will not, we still stand with Ukraine. Ukranians are Europeans, we are not, we stand with Ukraine. Ukrainians are white, we are vastly not, we stand with Ukraine. Ukrainians are Christian, we are mostly Muslim. We still stand with Ukraine.
“Color” didn’t protect Ukraine from colonialism. russian empire used Ukraine to increase its territory by eradicating Ukrainians either through exterminational policies and assimilation. Same “color” allowed to call them brothers to conceal genocide.
Crucially: Ukrainians stood for Muslim Chechens during their darkest hour, Ukrainians stand for Muslim Crimean Tatars. Ukraine is a colonized and genocided Europe that understands us.
Ukraine is when an elected Jewish leader in a majority Christian country stands for oppressed Muslims.
We don’t want to be victims. We want to be resilient and self-sufficient. We want dignity and equality. Ukrainians teach us how.
