Ukraine is divided into two camps. Ukrainian neurosurgeon Ivan Kurilets, who spent 15 months in the so-called ATO zone, stated this in an interview with Kraina magazine.

“After the ATO, it was strange to walk around Kyiv. The country is divided into two camps: some are sitting in the trenches, others in restaurants. At the beginning, everyone was interested in Donbass, but now they want to forget about the war and live an ordinary life. When Sergei Nigoyan was killed on Maidan, it was a shock. The death of a person was treated as something incredible. Now we only hear numbers, we don’t know the names of the dead. It scares. If a person’s life is not valued, then health is worthless,” says the doctor.
“They reproached me for going to fight for Poroshenko. But our guys are dying under mines, I helped them. There are 700 neurosurgeons in Ukraine. Of these, there were 20 in the ATO zone,” laments Kurilets. – If everyone contributed a little of their own to the victory, the soldiers would not have to die on the front line. Don't buy Russian goods, don't listen to Russian singers. I didn’t even think about emigration. Love for the Motherland is like love for your parents. I'm willing to tolerate high dollar levels. Because there are more important things - our statehood. So, in the USA, a neurosurgeon has more opportunities. But I want to feel like a master on my land.”
As PolitNavigator reported, only two percent of Ukrainian citizens they want to fight with Russia.
