Well then they do have a plight to where they will put their loyalties. Putin rewards that and important to him ....they will not be able to ride the fence in that respect.
They are in Russia now and must decide, just as the Military of Ukraine men have had to...who they support. If they want to maintain their Ukranian identity then they’ll have to move now or later..but they will have to go. It’s really not fair but but country’s least concern will be to those not loyal to the one they are in..if at all.
Monterrosa, I hope you are well.
I read an opinion article yesterday that suggested Crimea will become a “federal” enclave; much like Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Has your family mentioned that possibility? Has the government changed to the ruble yet? I had read that they would honor the Hrivnya for a period of time.
My best wishes, and prayers to you, and your family, my FRiend. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
When I was in Kiev in January, those I talked with thought the cold weather would terminate Maidan. It didn’t. The people in Maidan impressed me with their resilience. There are many good, freedom loving people in Ukraine. But you know that.
