    Sorry to quote my book, but I think this might be useful for those who still hope “to talk things out” with Putin.

    I lived under Russian "peace" (bombs) in Aleppo. I witnessed Russian "diplomacy" in Geneva. I, and millions of Syrians were directly affected by how the west allowed this to happen, and because of that free pass, we have crisis.

    Boy, completely misunderstands Ukraine. Their reporters say that the further Russian troops head west, the more hatred and resistance they will see. I assure you, we are one people and that resistance will be the same everywhere.

    This is a historic moment. If Putin escalates his invasion of Ukraine, the repercussions will be catastrophic. A horrifying human cost, massive economic upheaval, and the end of the international order as we know it. Everything will change

    There's more to than war & Russia's threats & stale propaganda. It's a breathtaking country, full of history and amazing people. And some damn fine castles.

    European War in 2022 will be deadly, brutal and shocking. The Russian Military Buildup is the largest in Europe since 1945 and they are in an offensive posture. When the cost of aggression or threats of aggression are deemed to be acceptable the likelihood of war increases.

    No Ukrainians chasing American planes. It’s Americans who refuse to get in those planes and leave their Ukrainian friends behind. No matter what darkness is coming onto us - we met it with dignity.

    Come on, ! "If anyone could figure out what Putin wants"? He wants it all. Ukraine, other neighbors under Russia's control. America defanged on the world stage, with Russia taking its place. He wants everything and there is no reason we should be entertaining his aspirations.

    Es ist schon für einen einfachen Zeitungsredakteur frustrierend, gegen wieviel Ignoranz man anschreiben muss, wenn es um die Ukraine geht. Um wieviel bitterer ist das für einen ukrainischen Schriftsteller. Ein Aufschrei von Jurij Andruchowytsch.

    Ok, so I’m reading how US, UK, some EU states telling their citizens to leave Ukraine NOW. As I am a Ukrainian staying in Kyiv I’m calling to the US, UK & EU member states to block assets of Putin oligarchs NOW and ban NOW entry to the West for their family members.

    If you think it's not scary, it is scary. Ukrainians thought they have somehow managed to simply carry on during all these 8 years. But the fear is here. Always. For everyone and everything one loves. One day fear becomes your invisible companion and you learn to live with it.
