Maidan Community Sector, Lviv: Dear friends!
War, not the expected peace arrived at the doorstep of Great Britain and France when they gave up Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938. War is happening right here at home and not in faraway Europe – the United States were harshly reminded about this at Pearl Harbor in 1942. War descended on Ukraine and thus is now much closer to Paris and Berlin, because Europe and the US haven’t supported Georgia in 2008. War showed up in the homes of Dutch, British, French, German, Australian families because Europe and the US weren’t courageous enough to lend a helping hand to Ukraine in 2014. It is impossible to run away from war and overwhelming aggression, it is impossible to buy yourself off. The war will catch up with you if you don’t stand up to it with utmost determination.

However, up to now, Putin has only been contributing to conflict escalation and openly sending Russian troops to Ukraine.
August 27 – Putin is mocking everyone point-blank – he says that Russian paratroopers, captured in Ukraine, simply got lost. Just as the dozens (if not hundreds) of tanks, “Grad” missile launchers and field guns – they must have somehow gotten lost, too. Much like the thousands of Russian terrorists.
