Riddle me this - Ukraine Peoples friendship Statue

How does a nation take down a statue that represents the identity of those who recently conquered the area?

Does that makes sense to any?

I have stated this from the beginning. This is development not war.

Syria showed us that war allows for the destruction of history, heritage, and culture without a response from the people. Syria is older than our recorded history and that history was demolished to make way for a new google smart city.
