The Ukrainian border with Eastern Europe is quite fluid. If looking at statistics there are frequent movements of people crossing that border regularly. It lends itself to the idea that refugees are not permanent. In other words people under some sort of insecurity for their land, homes, or apartments move readily back and forth as missiles and drones become an issue.
So, to honestly assess Ukraine’s circumstances going forward, it isn’t catastrophic. The people move away from Russian terror and return to rebuild and assume their lives again. Basically, I think Russia’s mischief is more an annoyance to highly resilient people.
In many ways the Ukrainians are a magnificent example of indomitable virtue. They sincerely love their country and the lives they enjoy there. I am sure the evidence of so many churches and religious buildings are a factor in the resilience Ukrainians exhibit.
It is correct to support them. They are magnificent people.
There was also a report about Ukrainian prison facilities for captured Russians. The Russians were happy there. They were saying, albeit as a POW, life in the prison was better than life back in Russia. When decisions are made about loyalty to democracy or communism, there is no doubt, the evidence points to a higher quality of life within democracy.
