Some of the saddest moments were always when I was driving in those combat zones watching vehicles full of bullet holes but very little human cadavers but totally frightened animals which where running headless across roads like chicken do when they heard a few shots. They had completely lost their otherwise good self-control and caution. And when you arrived in such a ‘cleaned’ place you could only see the animals looking hopeful at you to be taken away by you. Well, I don't want to go on about it, it's not forgotten yet.

Remember that until just recently (a year or two ago), the Ukraine and Russia both celebrated religious holidays in accordance with the JULIAN calendar. Easter (Sunday) in accordance with the JULIAN calendar occurs this year on the 20th of April; that is this coming Sunday. I haven’t been to the Ukraine lately, but I have my doubts that the entire population is in agreement with Zelenskyy’s decision and now celebrates Easter in accordance with the Catholic (Gregorian) calendar, having done so like the Russians (JULIAN calendar) for over ONE THOUSAND YEARS.

So, were the citizens of Sumy truly celebrating Palm Sunday??
