Everything i see about the place seems to be of a very well natured people. They seem to be friendly and generally educated people. I admire nations like this that focus on their own issues even when faced by threats from within and without. Check this road and buildings. May be Russians are just jealous

There were long lines of cars on a road leading out of the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Thursday after Russia launched its anticipated attack on the country. https://t.co/xbaLe5x6vw pic.twitter.com/nim2bM6YJL

It was one of the more developed and industrial parts in the former USSR.  Unfortunately - my hunch - we are going to see another Grozny or Aleppo, because Russian doctrine makes little distinction between civilian and military targets. 

To preempt the inevitable banal whataboutism, the US has been guilty of war-crimes too.  Especially in the more distant past, in places like Vietnam.  But since then, nothing on the scale of horror seen in Chechnya and Syria.  Russia does not even care to pretend that civilian lives matter where it's carrying out operations.
