  1. This is not conflict, this is neighbors and families discussing their different points of view. Discussing openly in front of the camera. Something they would not be able to do if the Russians were still there

  2.  @araara4746  Look, people have all sorts of limited, shortsighted, silly or plainly stupid point of view. Everyone is entitled to whatever they can make. For me, someone who says that survived the misery thanks to the help of those who caused the misery in the first place, is really limited in his/her capacity to understand the whole context. No, I maintain that is a discussion among a small group of neighbours and family members. As I have a big family, it des not sound strange for me that different options coexist, despite the intensity of the emotional argumentation. The citizens of the liberated areas have to understand the bigger picture. They have the opportunity to live in a democratic regime that will get closer and closer to the highest principles of rule of law in our civilisation. On the other side, they have kleptocrats stealing the people and all the wealth of the country, disrespecting all in their rights to live, speak and express their opinion freely. I myself, would not have any doubt, if I had to choose what side of this divide I wanted to be. I consider myself very fortunate in this regard.

  3. Yes, we all want to see, visit and do business with a democratic Russia, with Putin and his gang (either in jail or cemetery). Russia that will respect the rule of law and the international legal agreements it is part of. That will be great for the Russians and the world. Putin is the one blocking this bright future waiting Russia. Putin has to be removed from power. He is just a criminal, a thief and assassin; he is not a statesman, he is a spy used to work in the shadows dealing shade deals with criminal organizations. There is no future for Russia with Putin
