"In my opinion, the Ukrainian position towards Donbass residents has fundamentally changed. They probably seem to have stopped feeling any kind of human sympathy for them, as they consider them enemies, that is, the entire population of Donbass," notes Aleksey Smirnov, founder of "Angels" relief battalion.
