War is criminal, what is happening in Ukraine is soul destroying. Ukrainians need to decide, they are the ones fighting for their rights, cultural heritage.
Much like Africa where I live the East/West tend to negotiate policies, not always what people who live in a country even want. History has taught us nothing....
I believe that it will be possible to negotiate when Russia withdraws its soldiers from the land of Ukraine. Actually, Ukraine learned one bitter lesson of history - Russia's promises are worth nothing.
When aggressor spills blood in another mans country it is always wrong, never trust anyone.
