Yesterday was a hard day for Mykolaiv, but we are strong

Sophia, Kyiv:

Also I think we have made numerous conclusions about russia and russians. We see that we are not the same with them. We can fight for our future and our children without any weapon and opposition. While russians cannot do that even in such a scary and disgusting situation. We will never forget it. We will never ever forgive them our people’s deaths, our children’s deaths. russians should pay a big price for murders and crimes, they have done and continue doing.

Maria, Kyiv:

All these days I have been thinking about Russian people, history of their country. In fact, we all know that since the days of the Soviet Union, Russia’s policy wasn’t aimed at improving the living standards of its citizens, but at maintaining and strengthening totalitarian power in order to continue breeding up a herd of slaves who can easily be fed by propaganda. Most of the population lives below the poverty line, and therefore is still in the paradigm of the basic values.

I mean, the only things they care are survival, quenching hunger, finding shelter for themselves and their children. Not only does propaganda not allow them to think more broadly, people themselves do not want it, because they have other values in the first place, that is, until you live in comfort and prosperity, knowledge of reality will remain in secondary roles. I am angry with all the Russian people for allowing the terrorist government to benefit, and I will never forgive them. However, I understand that this is forced complicity in a crime that has been cultivated for decades.
