Had an interesting chat with a resident on my estate. The family are Ukrainian and lived here long before the war.
The lady was very upset about it all and saying how they don’t talk to their Russian relatives anymore because people in Russia actually believe what the Kremlin are telling them. Despite them telling their relatives it’s lies.
She also said a lot of regular Russians actually do believe the Ukraine is part of Russia and doesn’t understand why the Ukrainians are fighting them.
I asked what if Putin is removed and she believes it wont change anything because Russians blame Ukraine for the state of their affairs ie economy tanking etc

It was very eye opening for me. I did ask if maybe Russians just believe because that is all the info they are getting and she said no. Enough of them have been told by friends and family in Ukraine what is going on and they don’t care or don’t want to be involved

To me it’s just shocking. I might not try and oppose the regime but I would certainly let family know I believe them. Unless people are so paranoid that the Kremlin are watching and listening

Very true, in other countries too. My friends mother is Lithuanian, she supports Russia and wants Lithuania to belong to Russia again. Apparently life was better.

ditto, my ex is from an ex yugoslav country but has lived in the UK for about a decade, he is totally in support of Russia and often says he would rather live as part of Russia than be an independant country, Absolute madness
