Those people will be able to negotiate peace with neighbours. In occupied territories, in Russia. Using the values and interests, not the conflicts and differences, as negotiation starting points.

A cat is fighting – this is not a metaphor. The cats are working as psychologists (or a “walking happiness” as per words of one of the battalion commanders). The cats are hunting mice and rats that are found in hundreds at the military steppes posts. […]
