“The war can be avoided. According to its domestic law, Russia has no right to interfere in the politics of Ukraine.By doing so, Russia commits several international crimes. Ukrainian politicians should carefully think through each step. They must use the interior police forces, special units like Alfa, to avoid a split of the country. Otherwise the civil war will start. And then it cannot be stopped.”
Elena Liedina,

“The war has already started. I am from Donetsk, our people just sit at home scared. No one hinders from what is going on in eastern regions. People should influence the situation.”
Vitaliy Vynnechenko,
lawyer
“Most likely the war cannot be avoided, because Russia does not want to avoid a war. International sanctions may affect (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s regime in a way that it disintegrates in 5-10 years. My parents live in Donetsk Oblast, and I know that there are many bandits who are willing to fight just for money.”
Svitalana Porodko,
entrepreneur
“Our government sleeps a lot. I think only Russian people can stop their Putler from fighting this war.”
Vira Kolisnichenko,
book trader
“Russia has been sharpening its teeth for Ukraine for a long time now. These are not humans, those who want get on top of other countries. I hope that God lets these boys and girls who are now in power get to the elections. The young generation is the one to save Ukraine.”
