I see downvotes are coming. I am sorry for spamming it here. I just feel desperate to do something.

You seem like a kind soul and the horrible situation is undoubtedly having an effect on you. That said, the best thing to do is to write to your government representative to request they support a de-escalation of this situation, and then switch off the news and social media.

Unfortunately, the war machine is in overdrive and lots of wicked parties are using media propaganda to escalate emotions amongst people. The only outcome of this high temperature is more war and suffering for all, which again benefits the wicked parties (military corporations and others), while regular people everywhere will suffer.

So write to your government, turn off the media, and if you believe, pray for peace. That is the best way to help.

"Support peace" here means "make sure invasion of sovereign nation goes unpunished".

The best anyone can do to make the world better place is support the world again the Russian aggressors and war criminals. People "asking for peace" and "deescalating" are just on the side of the aggressors and war criminals.

I'm going to assume you are genuine in your anger and not a shill for the chickenhawks and MIC. Russian people are not the aggressors here, just like all Muslims were not responsible for 9/11 nor all Americans responsible for Afghanistan/Iraq and all other similar situations.

Don't behave like the real world is a Marvel movie filled with heroes and supervillains. If you truly want to help, write to your govt representative. Anything else you do as a civilian or private business is vigilantism, and will have no impact on the actual conflict at hand.
