Thanks for asking!
#Portugal was a formal, brutal colonialist empire. A founding member of #NATO in 1949 while under dictatorship for decades, Portugal brought down the regime in 1974 after losing a colonial war.
As Portuguese national, I have 2 main reasons for supporting #Ukraine:
1) right the wrongs of Portugal's colonial imperialist past by supporting Ukraine in fighting against a colonial empire in the present
2) #StandWithUkraine in joining NATO+EU to be free from tyranny
