calm

Many political leaders have called for calm, and for people to wait for the investigation into the suspect’s motivations before jumping to conclusions or casting blame.

Those who have navigated between the Scylla and Charybdis of right and left for too long want to sail to calmer waters.

"When Dima called, he told me to be calm. That he was back in Ukraine and I shouldn't cry anymore. But we haven't seen our son for three and a half years!"

But such calls for calm and moderation have been met with voracious pushback.

After a calmer Tuesday with sunshine for many, Wednesday is expected to bring heavy rain in many areas.
