It is the Russian approach to culture. They send convicted criminals to kill violin players on their own land. The scum against the elite.
It’s unbearably sad. If there were some adults at home in Europe, peace talks would have started a long time ago. Particularly now, when the war is just a slaughter house with little or no land gained by any of the countries. Unfortunately, we are infested in Western world by politicians who get stars in their eyes and wet pants when they think of war and playing heroes in front of each other. What do they care about people like Dmytro Kravet? Not at all. It’s a shame.
Privet Sergey,
>>If there were some adults at home in Europe, peace talks would have started a long time ago.>>
There were, plenty. After all, Russia was not supposed to attack. And when, to everyone’s surprise and against their own words(!) they did, Putin turned down a generous peace offer:

Of course, if there would have been certain “adult” enough in Moscow, the war wouldn’t have started in the first place. But that’s a bit too late now.
But to solve the problem: all we need now is him to be “adult” enough, and to face the facts that his “few hours’ operation” has lasted for over 15 months, and order his invading killing and looting hordes to withdraw from sovereign territory. – Europe does not need them.
Dear Jean,
again, an unnamed source from Kreml… do you trust them?
What we now for sure, is that Boris Johnson went to Kiev in april 2022. After that, nobody talked about peace talks anymore. And no Western politicans, with exception of the eternally-hated Orban and Trump, talk about peace as a good offer. The rest wants the war to go on until… well, until what, exactly? Ukraine has reclaimed Crimea and Donbass? See you in year 2300.
We stand with Ukraine.
