Global Q&A: ‘What has been the reaction to the Ukraine-Russia situation among your peers?’

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Elvina Dunn, 19, Student: Well, I have both Ukrainian and Russian friends, so all of them reacted in different ways. Most Ukrainians are angry at Russians and are saying that they made a big huge mess... While some are happy that Crimea is a part of Russia now. All of the Russian people that surround me think that Russia should stop the whole situation in Ukraine as a lot of people are dying... In my opinion, I think Russia should leave Ukraine, and let them work it out on their own. (Photo Courtesy of Elvina Dunn)

This is what Epoch Times reporters from areas such as Colombia to Australia discovered when they asked locals, “What has been the reaction to the Ukraine-Russia situation among your peers?”
