Is there a war in Ukraine right now?

I apologize for not answering right now - now I'm busy on writing some articles.

Another participant - Dktrav88 - also told me about such things, but I couldn't get the resource he'd been using. In such times of desinformation is something routine, it can be another type of fat false news to be shared. I mean it can be interpret as "the war" if we look at is as the intentionally inspired propaganda that, probably, comes from Russia.

I speak to as Crimea so Donbass time to time, but no real big changes hear now.

Thanks!!

I'd like to answer as soon as I can. It's just when I'm trying to concentrate on writing a paper, it's really uneasy for me to answer... So, please, dozens of excuses for no answer from my side!

Eight years ago no one in Ukraine would never even think about any conflict between Russia and Ukraine. I guess Putin had crossed Rubicon by his intentions – he should never start war; sane people prefer peace.

Hmm...

That's an interesting thought. A military one, or maybe a political one; and in general, a strategy and a tactical thinking style. This style is important, especially in the conditions like those ones.

Unfortunately, that's what I want the less, because, I guess, I have spent my best years with no wars or smth. Most of my acquaintances or people who I know more or less got used to those pre-war consciousness, and they've been living by it. People like Putin and so on - I would call him a 'boomer' (from the word "boom" or "to boom") - like to live by using many "tactical operations" or "local wars" all over the word: from Afghanistan to Syria. But not everyone likes it. 

I guess many reasons of having the situation be like that is that of such a terrible organization in the past as "KGB". Instead of acting like a normal people they were lizards in human flesh, and they killed people. Post-Stalin era was more or less calm, and usually the conflicts during the cold war were for to fright or to decide some political influence (in the question of the middle or east Europe, the middle Asia, and so on). And at the same time KGB wasn't fair and clear; they worked to search and find "enemies of the state", and I'd say they acted like in was Stalin after his own death. Such a weird dualistic situation finally blew up when Putin got the power to rule. That's why it explains why not many citizens want to struggle - such methods now are just total absurd. 

Surely, I could join to your thoughts that for some time Putin wasn't so weird in his plans. People saw a leader in him, while his intentions was turned to his selfish ways.

"Putin played a big role in the dismantling of the KGB structures" - even if this is true, he's killed many formers compatriots of him, which isn't good in all aspects. For instance, all the traces in killing of many generals like general Lebedev lead to him.

"The world leaders are desperate for solutions, because the real info is not reaching their ears as to what real science and real philosophy entails" - this truly is. Unfortunately not all the dictators are free from greed and selfishness. This doesn't lead to balance also. 

So, I guess the main problem is in that there's still a war between "elites", "the middle class", and "the untouchables". One of books of Orthodox Church history Hugh Wybrew that calls "The Orthodox Liturgy" reveals a history of how architecture, a structure of worships, types of dresses, variety of hymns and prayers has been changed during the history of Eastern Christianity. And in this book the author presented some interesting tips about the distance (in all the relations) between common believers and the clerics had been raising, and become wider and wider. One of such verifiers is the iconostasis. Perhaps you already know that the Eastern altars are covered by iconostasis from people. And that distance become more far relatively to the processes of changing the Eastern Slavs inner separations; I mean at first to monarchy, and then to some kind of parliamentary. But as maybe you also know that there was no capitalism on the East Lands of Slavs, except for the most last years. After falling of monarchy the commies became the rulers, and maybe it's another reason for some hotheads among the Slav politicians to think of revenge and the return to monarchy-like type of the country. 

Personally, I don't like any leaders, and I prefer heroes to them. This difference is totally mine, and for me the heroes are those who are ready to sacrifice themselves for the others, while the leaders want to rule. Heroes might rule, but that not of their priorities. I know that it would be an exaggeration, yet I'd say that the Ukrainian Cossacks in XVI-XVIII centuries could be such heroes.
