I wonder how Ukrainians feel and think about the situation.
Sure they wouldn't like to die that is given, and they don't want their property to be destroyed, so they don't want war.
But do they feel about different management?
Do they favor their sovereignty? Would they given up for the EU instead? Well I assume "EU - modern, democratic, and rich" vs "Russia - feudalistic, authoritarian, and poor" dichotomy it would be a no-brainer for lot of them.
How they feel about the no foreign help, do they feel abandoned? Disappointed?

I also question our future. What neighbour we get? Russia? Another Belarus type of country? How would the relation go? EU parliament had a vote about foreign relations, that the EU don't need unanimous votes for making decisions, simple majority is enough to make all EU country to follow suit. Can make this difficult in the future.
