WNU Editor: Most Westerners do not know this, but Ukraine is a deeply divided country split along political, historical, language, and cultural lines. This type of infighting, even in the face of a possible invasion, does not surprise me.

I am now seeing this type of infighting among my own family in Ukraine. 

On my mother's side I have an aunt in Kharkiv who is hoping the Russian military moves in. On my father's side I have a cousin in Kyiv who is praying that there will be no war, but her son wants no part of this and is now getting out of the country to go back to his home in Florida  .... while at the same time his sister (who also lives in Florida) wants to rush back to Kyiv to join the fight against any invasion. 

My other relatives in Ukraine are telling me that if war breaks out, they are going to try their best to avoid the conflict. I am also sensing this among my friends and all of my contacts in Ukraine. They do not want war, but should war break out, they will try their best to lie low and hope the heavy fighting occurs elsewhere. They are going to try their best to not get involved.

This is a complete contrast to all of my relatives in Russia. They are strongly against any invasion of Ukraine. But I know the Russian mentality. If war breaks out all Russians ( my relatives included) are going to circle their wagons, and will support this invasion regardless of the cost.

Sighhh .... so be it .... I have always had the reputation of being the odd person out among my Russian relatives.
