I believe in networking. Education. Synergy in action. In an open network of people who wish for peace. They yearn for this and understand that this is not the way for a decade. This is a path through at least three checkpoints: truce-reconciliation-peace.
According to UNOCNA, in just 10 days in January, there were 64 violations of the silence regime. And while the shots are firing and people are dying, and there is no real truce, it is naive to expect reconciliation, much less peace. And most importantly, such populism has an explosive mixture considering the number of weapons in the possession of the citizens of a country at war. What not only ATO veterans and hunters have. And the events of February 19, 2014, should remind of this scenario better than the famous Ukrainian TV series.
