So what's your message for the Ukrainians being bombed, their homes destroyed and families killed? What should they do?
Pack up and leave, take refuge in other countries? Just give up and stay under the Russian boot, obey when taken to fight in meat waves against their neighbors?

Like a great, great many things, possibly most things, these options beat a hot war at your home by a wide margin. So, yes? Comparisons to WWII only hold if you honestly believe that this is a full-on war of extermination, but if you believe that, the world should have sent troops ages ago. It isn’t and any horrors of war we see now are just standard fare for war anywhere ever and wouldn’t have happened if Ukraine had forfeited immediately. Instead they’re destroying their country and their people to save the intellectual constructs of their borders and administration. The biosphere would prefer that trade-off reversed.

What's happening in the occupied territories is a cultural genocide along with the execution of activists. Everything culturally Ukrainian is stamped out and every time Russians are pushed back from a town, mass graves are uncovered.
To add to that, after a few years the men in the occupied territories are pressed into the Russian army and sent in meat wave attacks westward. For example, the towns in Eastern Donbass, that has been occupied since 2014, are nearly void of male population by now.
