Has the topic of Ukraine been banned from the forum?

What went wrong? I felt the majority (with my usual reservation regarding two obvious provocateurs), were respectful.

Strong feelings from some are understandable if a person feels attacked or is affected in some other way, isn't it?

Maybe something was said in Russian that I did not understand.

I learnt essentially all there is to learn about the background and motivation of all the sides just in time before the threads were locked, and my questions were answered.
So I am ok with it - but it seemed very abrupt and I did not understand what the motivation was for suddenly locking all three threads. Perhaps look at bannning people instead?
