To my friends in Ukraine. I accept that my knowledge of what is happening in your country is not helped by my lack of understanding of all the political, social and economic factors involved, and by the propaganda that is feed to us all through the media. But one thing is clear to me, you are ready and willing to fight for your beliefs and your rights, and make the ultimate sacrifice of dying for your country. When people in many Western countries are too lazy to even vote, we should all be inspired by your fight for freedom and democracy.
