Spreading love is not enough. We did it and we do. They don’t want to. Rebels were those who had thrown out Yanukovitch and his company. And now he and the Putin’s sympathizers just want to take a revenge. I don’t like it when in international mass media call these ones the rebels. They are bandits, gangsters, criminals obsessed with maniacal ideas. I know what I’m saying. This can be observed not only in Ukraine but all over the world. We are all in one boat. And we are on the eve of great changes. Stop Putin and the like him until it’s too late. They just can’t control themselves any more.
