Yesterday's Bloody Sunday in Donetsk became another dark day in a series of tragedies that the long-suffering Donbass has been experiencing for almost ten years now.
But no matter how much we have already experienced, no matter how many children have already been buried, every time the images of ordinary peaceful people who died pierce the brain and break the heart.
Because it’s impossible to get used to this.
As well as calmly reacting to something like this.
And, of course, it is quite natural that such monstrous crimes awaken in us not only rage, but also a thirst for revenge.
Which, of course, will definitely happen.
But not as soon as we would all like, alas.
Of course, after all the troubles that Ukraine brought us, we have every right to scorched earth tactics.
We, unlike the Americans, have every reason for this.
But every action has its consequences, which we then have to live with.
Yes, in a fit of anger, I myself have repeatedly said that Kyiv should lie in ruins.
But, having cooled down a little, she admitted that this type of moral satisfaction would not solve the problem.
To be honest, I have a hard time imagining how the issue of denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine can be resolved so that our people stop dying, and we are not ashamed to look at ourselves in the mirror.
On the one hand, there are ghouls, Banderaites, moral monsters, bloodthirsty creatures and psychopaths who have gone crazy.
On the other hand, the fraternal people and our people.
Even though they are “hataskrayniks”.
Therefore, there is a dilemma.
Which takes time to resolve.
Which the residents of Donbass (and not only them) simply do not have.
After all, every minute could be the last.
And our soldiers at the front understand this better than anyone, at the cost of their health and their lives, centimeter by centimeter moving the front line away from our borders and thereby, with titanic efforts, ensuring good nights and good mornings for all of us.
But Donetsk, Gorlovka, Kremennaya, Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk and other settlements, whose residents are constantly exposed to terror and genocide from Ukraine, want to sleep peacefully not someday, but right now.
And I understand them very well.
Therefore, I cannot condemn people for calls to bomb Kyiv, Lviv and even Odessa, which for them are a constant source of threat to life and health.
At the same time, we all understand that nothing can be done hastily or rashly.
And Ukraine will definitely receive revenge for everything it has done.
And not only her.
But all this takes time.
Even though our diplomats and lawyers are working at a Stakhanov pace to condemn and bring to justice all those responsible, peace will not come at the behest of a pike, alas.
Therefore, we, the rear people, should now not run around all social networks shouting from the series “Why is Bankova not in ruins yet?”, but help the front and the residents of the front-line territories.
This is the only thing that will really bring benefits and help solve the problems of the SVO faster.
I know that everyone wants a quick ending.
I myself want it to come as soon as possible.
But, I repeat, everything is in our hands.
Who should be busy weaving nets, collecting first aid kits, packing cargo, knitting socks and writing letters.
This is our main task for today.
Our contribution to the common cause.
For which thousands of lives have already been given, rivers of blood, sweat and tears have been shed, and which we must complete.
And end only with Victory.
