209. Given that the Convention is a living instrument which must be interpreted in the light of present-day conditions, the State, in its choice of means designed to protect the family and secure respect for family life as required by Article 8, must necessarily take into account developments in society and changes in the perception of social and civil-status issues and relationships, including the fact that there is not just one way or one choice when it comes to leading one’s family or private life...

Russia may be doing some things right, according to some FR members here....

but...

Russia needs to get the hell our of Ukraine. They don’t belong there!

Invading a neighboring country is never to be condoned, no matter what else Russia may be doing ‘right’, according to some people.

Ukraine has been a country for a total of 32 years. It is a corrupt, oligarch-run failed state that the US Deep State tried to turn into an anti-Russian military base. This is the result. Ukraine as you knew it is gone, forever.
