This excerpted paragraph from an article in the NY Times tells something about them as they are being brutalized in a war for their very survival.

I don't expect any group of people or nation to be perfect, but it sure does my heart good to see something like this considering what they are going through. Resilient, strong, and a nation and people to be acknowledged.

This in the face of the Russians shelling constantly 24/7 in the East in civilian areas.
