“I have some relatives who have already gone to eastern Ukraine. I am against war. But I think that in such a case it’s necessary that everybody participates and contributes in the protection of the country.
Olha Polishchuk,
LG certification manager
I don’t have any relatives or friends in the east, but some are considering to go there. I would support and respect their decision to defend the border of our state. Of course I would worry, but feel proud of the patriotic people I know.
Mykhailo Palinchak,

I wouldn’t volunteer to go to the Donbas, as I have a family. But I am ready to go to the east if they mobilize me. I even have my personal bullet-proof jacket. It’s a duty of every male citizen to protect their country.
Vladimir Luchko,
pensioner
My son migrated from Ukraine a long time ago and lives happily in Canada. I don’t know anyone willing to go to the east. But I think we should not fight with these people, who are obviously brainwashed. There shouldn’t be this war. And the best way to stop the struggle in Donbas is to surrender that territory.
Olena Parshekova,
teacher
No way. People should not die there. As for me, this is an unintelligible, insane, absolutely silly and useless war. It’s extremely stupid to kill each other in the 21st century. It’s important to talk, negotiate and look for a compromise. I’m against the separation and separatists, but I am against bombing peaceful citizens.
