@_julia_wat_@JayinKyiv Like most of the Russian «opposition», they are against the war having consequences for russians. Since Russia cannot continue the war without great cost, it should stop. Had Russia been able to kill Ukrainians more cheaply, they wouldn’t care about the war.
@SilentmanRH@bayraktar_1love Probably many more than you think. As long as the cost is borne by other Russians, not themselves and their friends/family, Russians do not care. People in the west do not understand this about Russian culture.
@P_Kallioniemi My one and only reason for not believing that the invasion would happen was because I speak Russian and have travelled through Russia with my eyes open, and it was clear that such a country could never defeat Ukraine long-term. The conclusion was wrong, but the reasoning correct.
@The_Davos_Man They would definitely be imperialists who don’t mind care about the life of Russians (like the majority of Russians are), but it could cause a lot of internal turmoil and infighting that would distract from the war against Ukraine.
@ScoutFella@khodorkovsky_en@SlavaUkrHeroyam@dossier_center This way of fighting is not ordered or organised by Putin. This system was not created by Putin. This is how Russia, independently of who sits at the top, operates: this is Russian culture and society. Putin is a product of this, not the producer.
@KohseSoren@AndrewPerpetua They don’t care at about the wellbeing of Russians. They care about moscowites not feeling the consequences of the war, so that they don’t have to worry about keeping order at home.
@P_Kallioniemi@DmitryKovalchuk Should she win it for actively fighting against sanctions on Russia (and thus prolonging the war), or for denying that Russian society has any responsibility whatsoever for the war?
@Big_Belot@AndrewPerpetua Russia will make a serious proposition for peace only when they know that they will start losing their gains in the near future. Unfortunately the west will jump on the opportunity instead of finally defeating Russia.
@JayinKyiv Fortunately, all parties in Norway with enough votes to matter support Ukraine. The current government increased aid mostly due to pressure from the opposition. Still sad to see this kind of imbecility, even if it has little real impact.
