Touchy Subject
There will always be differing opinions - here if I may or if I may not - I offer mine.
I am of Russian-Ukraine origin, my grandfather was a Russian living in the Ukraine, they live in what is now the area of the Ukraine that is under dispute. And I say "dispute".
This area of the Ukraine has long been occupied by Russian people, they have worked the land, developed the land and created families and businesses here. Long have they been repressed by the Ukrainian Government and are not offer privileges like the people of Ukrainian decent.
They want their dignity back and if they have to turn to Russia for help, then so be it. I am an American of Russian and Italian decent. My grandfather was Russian-Ukrainian on my fathers side and on my mothers Italian. I say that war is never the answer that getting along with one another is and if, for some reason there is repression in the world because of our heritage, then it must be stopped.
The only ones that can stop it is, those that are repressed and those who are willing to help them - if that is a government who is willing to help - then don't bad mouth them - they are doing what is asked of them from people who need help!
