“I was talking to many people and they [said], ‘we don’t want to live in occupied territories, we don’t want to live in new so-called Russia’.”

Seva says that many he speaks to don’t want to live in “new, so-called Russia”.

“If you are talking about even nuclear attacks many people say, ‘we don’t care. Let then bomb us. Let them kill us but we don’t want to be Russians.’

“So, maybe [they are] emotional words, but on other hand, I also don’t want to be anyone else except Ukrainian. I want to live in Ukraine, not in [a] province of [the] Russian empire.”
