I do think there is a point to make here. Ukrainians should be free to leave their country if they want.

But you still support Zelensky's regime that makes it impossible, don't you? :/
You might not believe me, but if Zelensky didn't turn Ukraine into his ~~small~~ huge North Korea where trapped people are kidnapped from the streets and sent to the meatgrinder - I'd be donating money to my country every month. But Zelensky made sure to make this impossible - supporting his regime is supporting trapping innocent people in a war-torn country with missiles/drones/shells flying over them. People afraid of leaving their homes because "recruitment officers" can kidnap them them and send to die. People try to escape this hell, and die trying to "illegally" cross the border through rivers/mountains. Zelensky made sure to become our enemy #1.

But anyway, I strongly disagree with your view that Russia's imperialist invasion of Ukraine is "liberating" anything or anyone.

But how is this not a liberation? Quote from a dictionary:

To set free, as from oppression, confinement, or foreign control.

People on the liberated territories are not confined and can leave at any time. People on Zelensky controlled territories quite literally cannot leave. You can argue that it wasn't started as liberation. But it is now, unless my dictionary is wrong about the definition of word "liberate". It didn't have to be, but thanks to Zelensky it is.
