We are not a "perfect victim" because we did not surrender. And the world does not understand this
You are weaker. How can you be so impolite to Russia, which has a veto in the UN, nuclear weapons, 140 million people, oil and gas

Why Ukraine is an "imperfect victim" in the eyes of the world.
It seems that both facts and law provide a fairly clear assessment of the situation. There is no doubt that Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is the victim of aggression. Nevertheless, we do not fit into the construct of the "ideal victim".
The ideal victim should simply suffer from the aggressor's actions, and the world should stand in solidarity in deep concern. Instead, Ukraine has had the audacity to hold out against a much stronger enemy for all these years. When everyone was ready to "mourn and bury" it at the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
