Why is the plight of the Ukrainian people seeming more important than that of the Kurds, Palestinians or Yemeni people?

I think it's because Ukraine is in Europe and therefore feels more "relevant" to Europeans. I wouldn't say more "important". It's natural & understandable. Also the US is a NATO member along with many of those European countries who share a continent and feel close to Ukraine on certain levels.

Then there's this global fear of a giant military force like Russia with the dangers of slipping into WWIII.

Similarly, for Arab countries other Arab counties might seem to be more "relevant" too.

Personally, I'm against war and killings of civilians in all forms no matter what country or ethnicity. Nobody is more important than the other in that sense. Life & humanity above anything else.
@SW-User Amen!
