The problem is there will be situations where it is less clear if it's bad or not.

Next step would be all kind of groups trying to get military funding.



Why not cross that bridge when those less clear situations happen rather than throwing about the false neutrality principle[1] as a defense now?

It's not about neutrality, it's about doing it the right way. In the end they only become a target of russia's cyber warfare.

There are better channels and ways of helping without making a civilian platform a war target.


That problem is a lot, lot smaller than the problem of people dying in Ukraine as they typed out that statement.


Officially supported funding would make them a legitimate target in war.


like how the US was supposed to send them $400 million in military aid? [0] Or the EU is sending them €1.2 billion?

The US/EU have military backing. What does pateron have?


The Ukraine has disabled some human rights 7 years ago and is actively engaging in violent war with several human right violations for over 8 years now.

I don't see how even this situation is as clear as people make it out to be.
