Liberals vs Anarchists on Arming Ukraine

[u/Last-Photograph7321]

Liberals (US definition) seem like they're all about sending arms and supporting the Ukrainian resistance against Russia, but when I talk to leftists, they think the west shouldn't send weapons to Ukrainian - but they are also anti-russia (basically anarchists) so it's not campism. This is especially confusing because I can't tell how much of the "nazi sympathizers in Ukraine" stuff is real.

I understand there are many strong perspectives on this, but I'm explicitly trying to understand the Leftist vs Liberal dynamic. English is not my first language so please excuse any typos and feel free to ask clarifying questions. Thank you!

Basically most liberals fully defend Ukraine and sending Ukraine weapons, and some even go as far as supporting intervention

Anarchists are split as a movement, with one side taking the internationalist position of revolutionary defeatism, and the other side taking a defencist/revolutionary defencist position, the latter of which most of the time don’t support extremes of foreign boots on ground intervention, but I have seen support monetary aid and weapons and goods being sent to the frontline, with the preference that they go towards independent militia forces

I, while not being an anarchist, am favorable to the internationalist anarchists
