      All good, I upvoted your comment and was not disagreeing with you. Not sure why you got down voted. Your comment is valid, I was just building on top of it, basically mirroring what you said TBH.

        The issue is emotionally charged and highly divisive, so it is unsurprising to me. FWIW, I think the EU is doing what it can with diplomacy, but Putin has already shown that he cannot be reasoned with in this manner.
