Elena Kostyuchenko writing about Russia: theguardian.com/commentisfree/

"[...] she calls me and says: “I don’t understand what this war is for.” I say nothing. Mama says: “On TV, they’re always saying ‘victory, we need victory’, but what is victory? Even if we conquer Ukraine, all we’ll get is a country in ruins and a people who hate us. Ukrainians know how to hate, we’ve taught them.” I say nothing. Mama says: “Fine. What am I to do about it, then?” And I say: “Mama, that’s a really good question.”"
