Украина... житница Европы... Цвета, которые невозможно придумать! (фото з серії о пшеничних полях)...
Пожелаем скорее мира, солнца, лета, песни жаворонков.

To my Ukrainian and Russian friends and visitors :
I'm sure that you hate war 
and have nothing to do with what is happening in Ukraine ! 
I like, I love Ukraine and Russia 
 
All my support to
 Ukrainian friends and visitors
&
All my support to 
Beautiful, Friendly, Fantastic and Nice Russian friends, citizens and people 

which have to suffer this incredibly stupid and awful war 

(if I have had some esteem and respect for Putin, it is now over forever (( 

Please, read this message of Anna S., 

a nice Ukranian friend of mine, telling I think what is exactly happening in her native country 

(translation in english below the text) :

Война....война между людьми которые были друзьями и соседями... Мы в детстве сидели за одной партой, а теперь смотрим на друг друга через прицел.... Люди, ОЧНИТЕСЬ!!!! Россияне, я не знаю что вам наговорили, но такое впечатление что вы не понимаете драматического состояния ситуации!!! Это не учения и не тренировки, это война которую Украина не начинала!!!! Это не освобождение определенных областей, это наглый захват всей страны. Почему вы не остановитесь выполнять приказания человека,которому на всех наплевать кроме своего самоудовольствия? Он двигается потому что ВЫ жертвуете собой, ради кого??? Опомнитесь и откройте глаза! Остановите кровопролитие, ВЫ сможете!!!!

and now, text in english (thanks google translator) 

War .... war between people who were friends and neighbors ... We sat at the same desk as children,

 and now we look at each other through the scope of the gun ...

 People, WAKE UP!!!! 

Russians, I don’t know what they told you, but it seems that you don’t understand the dramatic state of the situation!!! This is not an exercise or training, this is a war that Ukraine did not start!!!! This is not the liberation of certain areas, this is a brazen seizure of the entire country. Why don't you stop following the orders of a man who doesn't care about anyone but his own self-pleasure? It moves because YOU are sacrificing yourself, for who ?? 

Wake up and open your eyes! Stop the bloodshed, YOU can!!!!  

thanks Anna !
