I am an ordinary guy from Russia and I am interested in the opinion of the local inhabitants about the "special operation" in Ukraine, where the citizens of my country are now performing their combat mission. My relatives, acquaintances and friends who are currently serving in the army, report that they are now participating in hostilities. In particular, a friend who served in the army and has not been online since 22.02 recently wrote to me. He wrote that he had not been online for so long because they were sent to Ukraine and he participated in the fighting there. He told how the Ukrainian forces hid in residential areas and used civilians literally as human shields. He saw it with his own eyes. Therefore, for most Russian citizens, Putin's actions are BASED and they support it. So, seeing how (((the world community))) reacts to our actions, I would like to know how the usual Western user now refers to the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
It's a war. It sucks. Two million people have had to flee from Ukraine. It's heart breaking having to watch a country being demolished by bombs. Russia is being cut off from every market. Soon the people will start to feel the pressure from a collapsing economy. And when it's all over, guess who will have to rebuild and pay for everything.
You are basically soviets at this point. Living in the past, disrespecting borders and gladly licking every shit up the government throws in your direction.
>ukranian forces hid in residential areas and used civilians literally as human shields didn't happen, nice bait literally every war under the pretense of self-defense is always just to trick innocent people like you and your soldier friends into committing atrocities, there's no such thing as a defensive attack, especially not from a huge country like russia to a small one like ukraine yes, america sucks equal or greater cock, but your turd president is literally arresting countless russian civilians only because they call it a war (which it is, or arguably isn't, since you're just murdering people in a foreign country) they're unironically shutting down the media coverage on this and outlawing the use of the word "war". If you're not seeing that you're intentionally being misled, then you're blind youtube.com/watch?v=F5j_7Vkbd9M Here's a statement I found and listened to. I'm not sure what kind of drugs your friend is on if he even exists and you didn't make this story up, but your president isn't even allowing civilians to flee the country, your soldiers are shooting at fleeing mothers and children. Unfortunately, when the economy is in shambles because you're being cut off for your president's crimes, it will just make the russians angry at others, isolate them more. They'll hate foreigners for this, not just their government. It's such a shame really because I like russians, it's just their government that got a stick in the ass
i dont trust anything my government says so i dont really know what to think. but i think the fact your whole country is suffering all these sanctions is fucked up. its what america likes to do when they aint got the nuts to fight you themselves.
