The owners are horrified by the intrusion, which has seen the killing of at least one security guard. Yet with a resilience typical of this extraordinary nation, they are already planning extensive refurbishment when the situation permits.
And some complain about water on a course it’s built in a swamp!

We feel sorry for the people of the Ukraine. No doubt. This issue is not relevant to their situation! May we remind you, you are in The Villages which is not the Ukraine, in case if you might have forgotten. You do not live there, we do not live there. Just like you apparently do not live in this neighborhood, but we do. Contrary to what you say, this area is not "built in a swamp". We've learned more about this neighborhood & Heron golf course in less than 1 full year living in our house than almost anyone who has been here 15+ yrs. including Exec. Golf employees.
You do not have something man made causing extreme flooding 25 ft. from your head when you are trying to sleep. You do not have to keep your windows closed nor able to enjoy your lanai when the stench is in full swing.
Covid kept almost all confined to their properties for many months. You could at-least spend time in your outdoor space, we could not.
Civid, mosquitoes and stench kept us confined to our 4 walls. I wonder if you would have traded places with us? Doubt it!
So watch the movie "ARGO" (specifically Alan Arkin's character Lester Siegel) and figure out what the acronym stood for.
