But in our case, it is difficult to understand in what they are wrong. In the civil war, the wrong citizens are killed. It’s not that it doesn’t hurt at all, it hurts when their own are killed, but when it’s not their Ukrainians, it doesn’t cause any pity, even if it is children. Ukrainians got used to murders in Donbass right away. Policy was familiar with bribery, lies, betrayal, but not the mass murder of people and the shelling of villages and towns.

The first Maidan of 2004 only by miracle escaped clashes and blood.īack then there were still cultural brakes, it was not yet customary to become brutalised and grab a weapon. After all, I saw how it was all prepared, how it was stirred up, how it was implemented. I am not satisfied with the official answers of Poroshenko and Zelensky. We are a peaceful, educated and hospitable people, but here it is.

I still can’t get rid of the idea of why and how we allowed the war in Donbass.
