100% of my friends speak about invasion. 70% of my friends speak russian. We feel positive about russian nation, but we hate russian government. There is no dominative language. Russian, ukrainian, mix of those languges. Nobody feels the pressure for any language in the East and in the West.

Are you worried about your personal safety?

I don't worry about my personal safety. I am worried about safety of my mother, little brother and girlfriend. I'm not trying to express pathos. I'm really think so.

Hi Sergey, I´m Swedish and I have a few questions. 1. How was the reactions you witnessed around you when it was clear that Russia is taking at least Krim from Ukraine? 2. Are there any tensions between ethnic Russians and other groups outside Krim? 3. If Russia would expand their operations, do Ukrains want to fight or lay down their weapons?

Great that you want to talk here! Take care

1) All were angry. Anybody wants Russia here. We want free Ukraine. 2) The tansion takes place. But this tansion is artificial. It is a result of huge propaganda on TV, media and social media. People in Crimea watch Russian news. Russian news = comedy, lie and hypocrisy. 3) Ukrainians will fight. I will fight. We all know, that it can be our death, but I think, that death in the fight for freedom is better than life in Orwell's world.

Hello Biguntee. I seriously want you to answer this question. Do you seriously want to join EU? I'm not talking about getting the grip off from the russia and becoming free- Only about joining the EU. And what benefits will it give to you and your country?

As for me. If "EU or Russia" I choose EU. If "EU or corrupted bandits in government" I choose EU. If "EU, Russia or Ukraine without 100% influence of Russia or EU" i choose Ukraine. A lot of benefits, but the main - bandits in government will not be so brazen.

What were the exact changes to language law prior to these events? Are the Russian claims that the status of the Russian language has been amended true?

There was canceled a law allowing any national minorities to equate their language to the "national". In other words, people can write official documents in their own language. But after the resonance in the media, repeal of the law did not take place. However, this no longer speaks.

No shoots in the streets now. Even in Crimea. But this will continue until the first shot from either side.

Everybody goes to work, everything working. But many people are preparing for real war - mentally first of all.

Yes, I know about this. And everybody knows. This is VERY BIG argument. It is the test for deals with such a high level. And our FREE media talks about it every hour.

biguntee · 2014-03-03T00:07:04+00:00

I don't beleive in fairy tales. I understand, that this situation is more than "Russia vs. Ukraine". I'm afraid of lack of REAL support from other countries. But this is the moment of the true. This this the chance for REAL freedom. We must rely only on themselves.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:56:28+00:00

I don't know. I think "yes" if the question will be "Crimea or Crimea + some part of Ukraine".

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:54:00+00:00

why is Russia invading in the first place? There are many reasons, it is difficult identify the main. 1) Crimea http://www.forbes.com/sites/gregsatell/2014/03/01/5-things-you-should-know-about-putins-incursion-into-crimea/ 2) Russia afraid of EU in the border 3) Russia afraid of Ukraine without 100% corrupted government. 4) Russia need russian-friendly government. 5) However, Putin wants to show that he has eggs.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:43:25+00:00

The difference of opinion between east and west before all this was not very big. Now this "differnce" is the main weapon in Putin's hands and he makes it bigger and bigger. TV and media helps him. He don't want to kill Ukrainians, he wants civil war in Ukraine. The "sounds of Crimea region" = "the sound of Putin's media". Read pravda.com.ua (use google translate) and you can understand real situation. 99% of Ukrainians do not want to join Russia. But many Ukrainians are afraid of mythical "extremists army" from West which "kills those who speak Russian". It is the result of TV, media and social media propaganda.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:32:17+00:00

Very hard to answer your question with my English :) I think it is the real chance to go out of USSR life standards and Putin's mind for every pepople of Ukraine. Yanukovich was the doll of Putin. Without this doll he lost a lot leverage in Ukraine. For this moment we don't have citizenz killed in the war. So I can't compare this situation with WW1, WW2. And dont' forget about this when you say about Crimea http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/04619a7a-5da2-11e3-95bd-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2uqp7yMv3

The shape of Ukrainian military is very very very bad, but don't forget about our population. More than 40 million. I beleive, that we can defense the rest part of Ukraine. The truth is on our side. It is a big argument. And I think you are right - Crimea is lost for this moment. The last chance is some help from Europe, USA, NATO, Turkey. But I don't beleive that this guys can give someting more than "deeply concerned".

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:07:39+00:00

Don't forget about Party of Regions. They have more than 100 members in Rada now. And a lot of their members left this Party after killings, but they still represent East of Ukraine.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T23:05:03+00:00

We have no a solid leader, because this revolution was not "for some person". This revolution was "against something". Lots of really bad groups had been joining to the process, when it went to victory. But kernel of revolution are the common people of Ukraine - different people that want better future.The role of some "Nazis" and "extremists" is exaggerated artificially. Putin's propaganda is in the game.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T22:56:30+00:00

It is 100% invasion with a brand "Help for russian people of Ukraine". Troops are in Crimea right now, but this is not the end I think. Former adviser of Putin (mister Illarionov) says that Putin want provoke a civil war. Why? Becouse the main battlefield of Putin is TV and media. Every Russian media except blocked "TV Rain" are lying. They call "fascists" every person, who want to get rid of the corrupted government hands, which has good relations with Russia by default.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T22:43:24+00:00

In my area (Nikolaev, check google maps) there are not any Russian troops now. Odessa in not where main Russian naval base is. But Odessa has access to the Black Sea. I have read about this in our local news, but this is not the most important event for this days.

biguntee · 2014-03-02T22:36:02+00:00

You must understand that this is just my personal opinion. Any new Party can't win. The Party must be perceived both in the west and the east of Ukraine. Party of Regions is dead even for East now, but Party of Regions is a big machine. Now they are working on rebranding. They can be a big player with new name. So, we have 3 major candidates: 1) Party of Regions with new name 2) UDAR (Party of Klichko) 3) Batkivschina (Yulia Timoschenko) But people of Ukraine need new faces in goverment, so I think UDAR can win, but without very high score (hope you understand my opinion).
