Stay or go? Ukraine refugees torn between safety and home:

Where is the option?

At this critical and very dangerous juncture, safety is definitely more valuable than home.

One can only live once, no way of having a second chance.

Home can be rebuilt again..

"But for us what matters most is to be safe."

A start would be to replace warmongering Putin and his fellow warmongering Kremlin backers with leaders who prefer living peacefully with neighboring nations. Russia is geographically huge, and has vast reserves of natural resources, Russian should not need to further expand its territories and take other nation's resources.

At this critical and very dangerous juncture, safety is definitely more valuable than home.

But when people attempt to flee dangerous places in poor countries, especially those rife with violence, xenophobes and other far rightists in wealthier countries say build higher fences, make them stay in their home countries to fight against whichever regime rules there.

If warmongering Putin and his warmongering Kremlin were to stop invading sovereign nations, killing off civilians and destroying infrastructure, that would be a start in reducing the number of people faced with making the stay or go choice.

And if Putin and his Kremlin mates were to use some of Russia's wealth got from selling the country's resources and weapons to help Russian people living in Russia, instead of pocketing that wealth for themselves, fewer Russians would have to make the choice whether to stay in their homeland or relocate to another country.

zeninsky declares Ukraine an independent neutral nation, restores democracy and frees opposition party members, allows free media, honors the Soviet era promise to not join NATO, and doesn’t force all men to aged 18-60 to fight against one of the worlds best armies would be a good start. Except Donbass. It’s like, Mexico doesn’t ask for Texas back…just love your people, not your ego.

she told how Russian soldiers ransacked homes in her village, smashing windows and doors and defecating in bedrooms and sitting rooms.

Russia’s finest. Torturing, raping and murdering civilians. Targeting hospitals, residential areas. Kidnapping.

Rodney - What if after giving all of that up to Russia, Russia still doesn't go home? Then what would you recommend that Ukraine do?
