Russian writer and military journalist Sergei Loiko considers the war in the Donbass a "black and white" confrontation between good and evil.
He told about this in an interview with "Apostrophe".
"I was in Slavyansk and I saw how it all happened. I saw that completely foreign people came to the city, seized administrative buildings. I saw what was happening in the Donetsk airport. You understand, when you spend all your life in the war - on one, on the second, third, eighteenth - then you, in general, get used to the fact that in each war, both sides have their own truth.

And, talking with those and with those, you understand that both those and others have some reasons to hate, be embittered, "- said the writer.
The war in the Donbass is not like such a war, says Lojko.
"And here, in Ukraine, I saw that this war is black and white, because on the one hand it's evil, on the other hand it's good. Good protects its lands, is compelled to protect. I believe that the only plus of this war, if one can call it so, is that it turns Ukraine from the wreck of the Soviet Union into a united nation of Ukrainians, regardless of their nationality. This is the only plus of this war. And the minus is everything else, human lives, "he said..
