Estimates of the Ukrainian military death toll since the start of the Russian "Special Miltary Operation," on 24 Feb 2024, , range between 300,000 and 400,000. Russian President Vladimir Putin says he launched that war after the Kiev regime's refusal, for 8 years, to implement the 2014 Minsk Accords which required that regime to end its war against Russian-speaking Ukrainians and to not form, through NATO, a military alliance with the United States against Russia.
Since the end of the Second World War, the United States, by one estimate, has killed between 20 million and 30 million people. How the ever-growing number of military bases of such a country on Ukraine's soil could not have been perceived by the Ukrainian President as an existential threat against neighbouiring Russsia, is a mystery. One consequence of this war is is shown in the above video of a young Ukrainian woman who is contemplating what the future will hold for her even should the Ukrainian army defeat Russia.

"I don't want to live in Ukraine!
"I don't want to live in a country where the state owes nothing to its citizens. I don't want to live in a country where a police officer can run over a child at a pedestrian crossing and go home to sleep in a warm bed without any consequences on the same day as the murder.
I don't want to live in a country where even the basic necessities cannot be provided to the servicemen on the front lines. They can't even receive qualified medical assistance.
"Everyone expects victory?! Do you know what will happen after the victory, besides poverty, destroyed infrastructure, and widespread corruption? Our country will be filled with disabled veterans who have sacrificed their hands, legs, and eyes."
Dmitry Polyanskiy's summary: On Independence Day, a Ukrainian girl pours cold water on the heads of Ukrainian patriots who are leeching off the Ukrainian and Western propaganda budgets.
This is the intro segment of a video posted on 08/08. The video describes problems facing Ukraine, and continues by speaking about how UA society should aspire to a better future and solving those problems. Not regarding Independence Day. Post misrepresents intent.
My response included posting back the full text of what she said.
