I have developers in Kharkiv and other areas of southeast Ukraine so I speak to them They tell me Kiev’s attitude towards the Russian speaking population there. You can ask them yourself. Where do you live? The situation is exactly as you’d expect … some guerilla fighters shoot rockets and then Kiev shoots back and civilians have to sit in basements… so there is escalation and the local residents feel that Kiev is bombing them… just like in any other separatist situation. Hardly a “genocide” as Putin characterized it but also not exactly welcomed by Kiev. They say they offered Kiev to be an autonomous region with its own Russian language etc. and not bother anyone but Kiev sends troops. I just listen, I am trying to piece together what the situation was like on the ground from people who are there.
