Zelenskyy is doing what he can to keep Ukraine independent from Russia. He has successfully sought aid and support from the West and Europe.
Russia has no legal or moral claim to Ukraine. Russians and north North Koreans are dying for Putins pointless causes. It is and has been clear that Europe would respect Russian borders who the whole thing is pointless and you deserve to pay the punishment for trying to invade Europe.
90% of manufacturing is done in China, India and other (formerly) poor countries. You’re paying 50p for plastic tat, £1 for a t-shirt and all the other slave labour. That’s something that USA,UK, Germany have been offshoring since the 1950s. Western countries and China heavily locked together for mutual success.
When you talk about how to support countries, what exactly do you mean? Why we continue to do business with these countries? Pride symbols didn’t even exist until 1990s.
Also if you want people to be more liberal you have to educate and share with them. It won’t happen by boycotting people. Russia is the perfect example of that.

UK IT dev here. When I started working in the field back in 2000ish it was perfectly fine for IT staff to pop to the pub. Did for many years. Then in my 20s it became normal to have drinks after work rather than during work. Then when marriage etc came along, it became neither.
I posted a reply here and it got removed by an admin. I’m done recommending Lemmy now.
