Thank you so much for this😭 I am trying to be fair and realize that NATO is threat to Russia and has been moving closer. But they still didn't throw the first punch. But I def do not blame the people of Russia as they are good common people and they are going to suffer too from disrupted trade and sanctions. Whereas the rich and powerful have enough wealth to isolate themselves from consequences.
But stay safe and stay good. I'm neither Russian nor Ukrainian but I am human and I stand with humanity not the greedy and insane.

I feel so sorry for you Russian people. Your leaders are violent criminals, and you will have to pay for their crimes. ☹️
I have some friends in St. Petersburg, peaceful people, and they are devastated. There's nothing they can do. They have jobs. They have kids. Protesters are arrested immediately.

You've hit the nail on the head. The only, and I mean, the only reason Putin is engaging in this aggression is to distract from problems at home. From what I hear, the Russian people do not support the invasion. It's disgusting that so many American conservatives do (but not all - this is creating a rift in the Republican party).

I heard the Russian stock market dropped 50%. If this continues, I would hope that the oligarchs who support him will tell him to back off. It's one thing for the government to lose money, quite a bit different when rich people suffer.

I don't understand what is "Nazi" anymore, I see warriors showing the swastika proudly and they are being praised for their bravery in the battle field by their Jewish president, so yeah it's a lame reason for war but anyway nothing is simple or easy to analyze yet one thing for sure is I will always love the Russian people no matter what .

This is a very heart-wrenching account of what’s happening and I appreciate you sharing the moods of the Russian people in this moment. I’m very happy that there is no pride or jubilation - because there shouldn’t be. This would be like the US invading Mexico.

That is a very humanistic but brave stance to take considering your circumstances, well done.

thank you for sharing...sadly a handful of powerful men wont allow peace to exist.

Russia got new Pakistan at its border similar to Chechnya and Dagestan. Cutting deals with dictators is naïve, money or freedom .

Putin is a thug who needs be put down

Where does Putin actually live? Is he in Moscow.

Russia's ruling government hate democracy. Period.
