I mean, it's totaly wrong saying that we did nothing. We did our best before the war and if you look at the statistics, peoples opinion have changed drastically after 2014. Our people from opposition got more power in government and if we had more time, then putin and his friends would've lost power for sure. But he decided to attack now, because he felt that this is his the only and best opportunity to hold for the throne. So basically, because he attacked now, opposition is in a pretty bad place to go on the meeting or taking power by force: 1. Navalny is in prison, other leaders of opposition fled from russia 2. A lot of ordinary people still believes in putin and his "special operation" 3. Army and the police are still defending putin like a good puppies 4. Putin still getting money from the US and West 5. A lot of people immigrated from russia 6. Incredebly high risks for anyone who oppose the war now We still have 3 conditions for the win 1. We have to win informational war 2. US and West must stop buying gas and oil from putin and they also must give Ukraine more weapons and not being ignored 3.

@@nikosz66 both yes and no. The people of Russia is caught in the result of a series of unfortunate events.

So on a microscale, no, on a macroscale, partly but "it depends" (as they say in legal studies). Therefor it's never a good idea to blame selected individuals based on their country's desitions.

@Mystery Rosebud Good Point.

The reaction when the Moskva was sunk was 'we should bomb Kyiv' - as if that's not what they've already been doing for more than two months.

I can't help wondering why Ukraine hasn't officially declared a war with Russia 😏 The natural gas from Russia is still going through the pipeline on its territory and Ukraine gets money for its transit. Once the war is declared officially, that has to be stopped. Very interesting. Recently, Zelenski has approved some amendments to the law which allows to prolong so called" millitary emergency situation" in the country without declaring a war.

They know, they just don't care. They think they are entitled to do everything they want to Ukrainians. And they are shocked that Ukrainians fight back and that world does support Ukraine

Like you're completely oblivious to the atrocities committed by ukrain against the east and that you support nazis.

Hmm. I have a question for Bidon.

@@knobjockey76 I'm russian and I agree with you. I don't like Russia, USA, Europe and Ukraine. These countries support a war. I think they must END this.

That's bs. Blaming an entire nation for the political decisions of a rather authoritarian government's decisions...that's like trolling/looking to add fuel to the fire. There's no one other to blame than the governments, cuz they have the monopoly of power. Period. edit: On the other hand. Putin did inherit a post-communist nuclear power as Russia's President. I would never want to be in his position. It must be torture to run that kind of a country, with all the political pressure everywhere and all the responsibilities and farsight required. But yeah, it's not the people, it's the government that's to blame due to the very simple reason of its monopoly of power.

Good, they deserve it

Still waiting for the US not to be looked at favorably for invading, bombing , couping, toppling Syria, Libya, Iraq, Ukraine,etc.. The hypocrisy (and criminality) of the US and some of its vassals states its reaching new levels of absurdity.

And then he runs to the store to buy sugar, because it is swept off the shelves.

Exactly. Russians have to do something about their government in stead of saying fucking " it is just politics" or " Im neutral" It is fucking alibism.

=>"Russians and Belarusians supporting corrupt politicians" =>Stops reading

Wise words, Alyssa.

as a ukrainian that's what i've been trying to say to all the people justifying russians' generally indifferent attitude towards what their governments has been doing for decades and especially now. how can you live so unbothered and consider yourself ''out of politics'' when this is your reality? russia really needs a huge change of mentality because it has been going in the wrong direction for years. As Lermontov once wrote: ''Farewell, unwashed Russia, Land of slaves, land of masters, And you, blue uniforms, And you, people, devoted to them. Perhaps beyond the wall of the Caucasus, I will hide from your pashas, From their all-seeing eye, From their all-hearing ears.''

I would like to add my voice to yours and, on top of that, add this: I understand that it is hard to live under an oppressive regime. I understand that you can feel powerless to make any kind of change to the point where you decide to give up and just go on with your life regardless of who is in charge and what they do. We see it happening in every video posted on this channel. How many times have you seen people answer "I am apolitical" to every sort of question? If you take such stance though, it still means that the status quo is good enough for you. It means that you chose to stay as a cog and keep the current machine running. In other words, there is no real neutral. There is only pro or against. When you chose to stay as a cog in a system that is grinding only yourself, I am fine with it. But when innocents are paying the price for your apathy, that is where I personally draw the line. This is why I can't empathise with the average Russian and this is why not only I favor the sanctions but I want them to be even more strict. Russia cannot stay as it is. Putin needs to go. Russia needs to change.

Presidents of Russia will change but Russian TV and Russian propaganda will never change. Even now 85% of Russians think Stalin was a great leader. If you go a bit beyond Moscow, you will always see the same hatred for the formerly occupied countries.

Who is the bigger monster? The Government or the people who voted for them? The latter made all this possible.

Couldn't put it better myself. There was no 'russophobia' before this invasion. Now people hate the government, but do not hate all Russians (but we do think they should be doing more to stop it, based on historical precedence in Europe and what this invasion could lead to)

@@Keskitalo1 agree, but in a totalitarian regime, is there really a valid alternative. I think many russians just chose not to involve themselves in politics, because there isn't really an opposition. But of course they then do have at least some responsibility for the civilian deaths in Ukraine, no matter how much the claim to be "neutral".

well, the United States and its "democracy" can interfere in the affairs of any state when it suits them, and not a single European country will impose sanctions against them. How it works?

How isn't that obvious? By whom could a Russian soldier be killed in Donbass if not by Ukrainians? -___-'

Well, we don"t know if the father was a russian soldier or what? Because Donbass is still in Ukraine, therefore the russian army shouldnt be there.

No, we did understand perfectly. Nevertheless, Donbass - even with many Russophil citizens there - is considered by the Un. Nations a possesed part of Ucraine.

I guess it comes down to geography

@Alexey comments are all very well but people are being raped, executed, tortured etc, I kind of expect another human to do more than say it’s “sad”. If the Russians inside Russia do nothing or at the most send sad faces, I’m sorry they should be treated as complicit in this. Yes I know they are living under a dicktstor but hallo most of the free countries of the world were at one time and the PEOPLE changed things. Is it easy of course not but it’s a lot easier now than in the past to see what’s really going on and organise for change if you want it that is. I see the current modern day Russians as having their heads in the sand, if they don’t become more globally accepted as civilised keep them in the dark ages until they are fit enough to join civilised society.

Russians know what is happening. Look at this discussion. There are tons of informations. RU-vid is full of informations and Russians have the access to the whole content. Many of them have VPN, so they have normal access to informations the same as you and me. But the most of them willingly have decided to believe their propaganda, cos it is more comfortable for them. Many of them have been informed about the situation directly from their Ukrainian relatives or friends. They know everything and they are fully responsible for supporting this madnes, murders, rapes, destruction , looting etc. So don't be blinded by their surprised looks and acted mourning. They know what they are cheering for. And we play useful idiots to them again apologising their attitude.

Right now Israel is again in less than 2 years since last time attacking Palestine, yet I hear nothing. I could talk about more. I dont care about Ukranians, they voted for a clown and they are getting what they deserve.

Anybody that supports this criminal attack on the people of Ukraine deserves the hate.

and they aren’t protesting it en masse. Even the minority that is against the war is too scared to do anything about it. They’re comfortable in their homes that aren’t getting bombed, and they’re still too scared.

You can't judge because you don't fully understand what is really happening and what it's all about, because you only see what the media shows you, of course it's very sad that it all turned into such a terrible situation, but you noticed that, for example, people (most) from the destroyed Mariupol evacuated to Russia, not towards western Ukraine. This is because people were waiting for protection and finally got it. It is already possible to understand that people from Eastern Ukraine are completely different people for Western Ukraine.

(and have lived, worked, played on every continent and >70 countries) My perspective is that "Putin" has been made into a Hollywood Monster ... because: - He brought Russia back from truly disastrous economy, oligarchy and western "shock therapy" that was actually rape and plunder - He has restored the culture in respect of honouring Orthodox Christianity, the strong REAL Islam, (non-perverted for making 'jihadi' terrorists - as done with Saud Mujahidin in Afghanistan .... extremist proxy forces who became al Queda ... and now Anglos doing the same with Pravi Sektor Bandera Nazi extremists in Ukraine), and the recovery and giving respect for all >190 ethnic groups in Russia ..... The people of Crimea speak of immense improvement in their lives .... Even the Tartars - He is a highly intelligent and moral person .... When I look at Russian intervention in Syria, I am truly grateful. (AngloNATO using proxy terrorists there in a heinous dirty war) ... and wish Russia had recovered enough to save Libya from what was done by AngloNATO - He is not a neo-liberal ... where there is actually a great deal done for the people ... the ru medical, education, cultural provisions are excellent ... and family values etc promoted. I am Anglo Colonial of Africa. I'd rather do fair 'win-win' business with Russia and China than with Anglo-NATO nations - who bully, bribe, blackmail .. and bomb to be able to profiteer and plunder. Even Sweden was in on a mega bribery and corruption arms deal here ... and we have Toll roads where 70c of each local $ gets paid to the Swedish company ....

@Trawl Youu think of that putin and his crazy gang obsessed with money, power and blood are not the only ones who were already born in Russia. There are many peacefull, nice, smart and civilized people. They're just not so loudmouth, not so much noticed by you. But why? Why are they not valuable for you? Just because someone's in power now does not make him the whole Russia. Many countries of Europe have the history of invasions, agression etc. So what? You had your time to manage that deal. We're still in process. Yes, it is terrible. And you know just fine how hard it can be. But instead of understanding or help - you're calling people to drown us, plus humiliate us. All of us and the kids - for kinda sins of either our inner enemies and criminals even on our own laws, or our far ancestors. (I'm saying "kinda" here because kinda every more or less mighty country was doing this same disgraceful shit in previous times. But who cares?) I just wonder.. is it actually knowledge and sanity, and sense of justice driving your thoughts? Or is it just fear and hate? Oh, and.. We've been screaming for years: "he is a thief and a killer! You all know that! Stop acting like he's ok! Stop giving him money for our national teasures!" But... Well sure, while the resources of this land were needed to Europe, putin and the gang were just fine for everyone, weren't they? And now - all of a sudden - we, people of Russia, should pay for his and whole 1st worlds mistakes.. again. It's soooo nice of you guys). Just a couple of questions. 1. When and how and to who did sanctions ever Help? 2. How are you going to disarm this nuclear madman? Weapon supplies are cool, but noone dares to send their army and do something to the bastard now. Ukraine is the only country Acting. I mean, how exactly are you planing to do what you're implying? 3. China will sure as hell get this falling piece of Earth. At least it's most valuable parts. It's doing so already. Are you ok with it? 4. Just in case.. Are the guys that Euro's gonna buy oil and gas from (till they become fully green in 2030 or so).. that much democracies? Are they good enough? Or are you just gonna be feeding the next psychopaths? ... Etc. Oh don't listen to me. I'm just another stupid agressive russian, ain't i?

Oh they definitely will no company will trust them Especially the Aero industry all the planes they was renting ( 18 billion dollars worth) Has basically just been stolen. Russia has refused to give them back. The same with the shops that’s pulled out, Russia is just going to steal all the stuff that’s in it. So nobody will want to come back but what will be a new world trend is who can set up their companies in the Ukraine to help them ( we all know it’s mostly to make themselves look good). I can see the adverts now. We are helping Ukraine build a better country for their people….

Only western enjoy and proudly judging and stereotyping everyone from few bad seed, can i judge entire western were trash like Trump?

Russia has always fulfilled and continues to fulfill all obligations. Maybe investors should take a critical look at the West and their fulfillment of obligations?

The good Russian people will never suffer terribly, we will find a way out of the situation, don't worry about it. We know how to enjoy the little things and enjoy what we have.

Странно, почему американцев никто не осуждает за их войны?))))

this is not correct, this war is supported by Russians and they go to kill residents of neighboring countries for money. Putin did not attack Ukraine alone, almost 140 million Russians and the majority support the war, the Russian army kills civilians in Ukraine, bombs and destroys cities every day

We don't owe it to you to change our government.

@@gandhibhagat285 nope. The world isn't one. No one owes you anything. No one has to change to fit your world view. No one has to share your point of view and ideals. If you want peaceful coexistence - work for it, be good at diplomacy, build stronger ties, be respectful, be responsible, and start with yourself.

@@leaselmary_sims2189 Respect is earned. Russia deserves none.

Unfortunately, apoliticality is the legacy of the Soviet Union. Those who were born in the USSR are still the majority, they do not know what politics and economics are, if you do not believe, look at what happened to people after the collapse of the USSR, how they were deceived for money, what happened to the authorities in the country. People just don't understand how you can choose a government and how you can participate in the economy. Therefore, they believe the bandit Putin, who saw that the people were completely unprepared for the new reality in the 90s and seized power with promises of stability and still supports it, in fact, his voters are people who want to return to the USSR. Our population is one big disappointment, the older generation(homo-USSR) just wants to bury alive young people, who clearly do not want to return to this sewer, from which their parents and grandfathers got out. And we don't know what to do about it now... In this country, everything is done not "because of", but "in spite of". The whole success story and some achievements of ordinary people in the Russian Federation are stories of struggle and overcoming, so for a person with a brain, no matter how patriotic he is, the only option is to immigrate. No one wants a revolution, especially in a country where your opponent is objectively stronger, but I hope that the day will come when the Russian Federation will die, along with the memory of the Soviet Union, and the new Russia will become a full-fledged member of world society, all the best

​@@leaselmary_sims2189 Well, the world doesn't owe you its dollars, safe harbor for your yachts, Ikea & iPhones, a welcome to your athletes, tourists etc. either, so I hope you love Russia, N. Korea, Iran and a few African countries, because that's about it for you in the 21st century.

Link to a video?

All this hatred has been accumulating here for years, partly justified, partly not. Naturally, most of the hatred for Ukrainians was put into the minds of pensioners and students (stupid) by the government and its propaganda. I am an ordinary student of 16 years old, a freshman in college, and not a single person in my group hates Ukrainians. The problem is that there are few adequate people left here, most of them went abroad.

Complete savages.

link or youre full of it

Where did you get this news? From the lying Ukrainian mediocre media?

Unluckily, many soldiers are the same, no matter their nationality, but yes, some russians soldiers are definitely demons. Same goes for Russian citizens. I can understand that you fear for your life and it is not easy to oppose a dictator, but if you don't do it even when there are children dying because such man, it means that you're part of the problem if you literally do nothing.

In every war, similar things happen, such as rapes, murders of civilians and so on, I don't understand why this surprises you so much. And in Russia, the majority is against the war, just many are silent because they are afraid, and, by the way, even those who support Putin condemn the actions of Russian soldiers

Even the wives of the soldiers support the rapes, looting and murder. It's translated from intercepted calls home.

Don't you think that the media is simply lying to you about this war and the causes of the war? Are you being told that Ukraine did genocide to Russians? Are you being told that Ukraine has been bombing civilians in eastern Ukraine for 8 years? Are you being told by the media that the Russians are simply already tired of enduring these humiliations and genocide? No wonder the war started. You should first learn about the causes of the war, and not just believe the media. In Ukraine, with the new government after the Maidan, for 8 years they destroyed Russian culture, humiliated Russians, demolished monuments to Russian scientists and writers, as well as to the kings who founded many cities in Ukraine (which is why the monuments stand there). No wonder the war started. Because you do not want to hear other people and turn a blind eye to the fact that Ukraine oppressed the Russians?And yes, the war is not between politicians, but between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples. You just don't know how Ukrainians behave and provoked Russians. Until 2014, I met the disgusting behavior of Ukrainians. Terrible and disgusting behaviour. They then wonder why the war started.

@@haaritdiasoritkenbaar3418 and where did you find this information? I don't even have to watch TV, there are millions of Ukrainians in Poland at the moment, almost 3 million of them arrived within last month as war refugees. Do you think they are all lying and there is no war? My friend is Ukrainian from Crimea and she was telling me what happened to her family in 2014 when Russia came to "save" Russian people there. Where are all Russian civilians killed by Ukrainians? Where is international investigation by UN? And don't tell me that UN is run by Western countries if Russia and China have been the main members.

There is nowhere to run, and they cannot abandon their relatives.

@@fgjjdgb3949 People with guts take a stand. Most of the Russians on this channel hedge and won't answer the questions about whether they support the war. I have no respect for them or their excuses.

Very well said!

Okay, i will leave with my family, give me money)

My grandfather never forgave the Germans for what they did in WW2. Whenever they or Austrians tried to camp on his property he shoved them away. This dragged on until late 1990s until his death. He was a concentration camp prisoner. And in the village we lived, 40+ hostages were shot. And my family has german roots (last name; and even my father learned german from my great-grandfather).

Brilliant words.🤝

Imagine they went to Ukraine and asked a few eye opening questions...

WE LOVE PUTIN 😘😘😘🇷🇺🇷🇺❤❤❤✌✌👏👏👏👏👏

Yes , we do hate them .

Magda - very well said.

Russians are not neutral. They fully support their government and they support this war.

@@innac7853 I’ve seen some of each in interviews, and I’m sure you know that thousands were arrested for protesting the war. So your statement is false.

Thank you for writing this. I’m British so although I know a bit about this history but obviously don’t know about it as in depth as you are and wasn’t aware that it was entirely that bad. I cannot imagine what it was like being under the Russians for so long. No country should have to go back to that. We all need to stand with Ukraine now no matter what, and that includes all the people in Russia. I still can’t believe how gullible so many of them are after the world they lived in under Communism. It just makes no sense why they are being like this to me. If I saw what was happening I would know immediately but it was bad, yet surely if they can see that things are ‘returning to hell they were under total state control’ (including those who lived under it who are of the old guard), then they would know that it is a bad thing just as much of the young generation does. If Russians don’t have the guts to stand up and fight this, even if it puts themselves at risk, then they buy extension will make themselves just as guilty in the long run as the soldiers that marched through the streets of another country in the eyes of the global community. We do not hate ‘all Russians’, but that number will only expand with time unfortunately if this continues on.

А в России говорят, что в США терпеть не могут русских:) Уже неоднократно встречаю таких как вы и дышать легче становится.

When Japanese soldiers attacked US soldiers the US government threw two atomic bombs on Japanese women and children. No other country ever did this. And even worse: until this day the US are celebrating this truly heroic act of human warfare. Do you hate your US government as well? Do you hate them for the Contras deals and the torture jail Guantanamo? Or the napalm thrown on Vietnamese children? Its so crazy to see how propaganda works in Russia AND the US (and everywhere else). I mean... you are from the most war loving country in the world, right? Extremely hypocrite to talk like this.

don't you hate what your gov is doing? sending weapons to many countries!

US government do the same things too..

По-моему правительство США делает тоже самое вот Байден здоровается с воздухом или же стеной

Well said. I truly see it from these Russians’ answers.

This should be more popular. I always feel like this is the truth that many just slide over.

and then they keep saying "you have to separate people from politics"... wtf man, just NO.

Meh. What did the Cambodians do to deserve Pol pot? I think you're being a bit reductive.

Also ''When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.''.

Yes , we do.

100% agree

I hate Russia due to this war, and I am most likely to treat Russians different as a result of this.

@Alexey like really. Translation wud be nice or piss off from this thread!!

@@epidomy2I can relate to that!

Europe is civilized you are lucky and Putin knows how to use that. Though you are the Nazis now, at least those who know what’s going on and support the war. This is just the start.

We are all brothers and sisters.

@Trawl Youu ok, you were shot 7 times, you were shot by me? Or by my friends probably? No, you were shot by Russian army, but I’m just Russian citizen with closed mouth. Do you feel difference? Btw I have 4-5 Ukrainian friends, and they don’t wish me bad things. We are just ants in a big political game, I can’t stop this war, and they can’t too.

@@andreykireew4858 No snowflake feels responsible for the avalanche. ^^ If you are not actively working to change things in Russia, or get out of Russia, you will be judged just like WW2 Germans that willingly stayed in Germany were. There are always ways to get out of Russia if you are willing to suffer difficulties & sacrifices to achieve it. Nobody chooses to be born in such times... but that is not up to us. But it is up to us, to choose what to do, when such times come our way. I wish you all the wisdom & luck in choosing the best course of action. With love, from Slovenia

@@elektrotehnik94 thank you my friend. I have a flight to the US at the end of May. I will stay there 4 month, don’t know what will be later.. I have enough friends moved to different countries. It’s difficult to explain for European people, but if you want to change something in Russia, if you’re against the government’s actions and decisions, you have only one way - leaving the country. Meetings and so on don’t work here because of a lot of reasons. I think German people in 1939 felt smthn similar.

Not whole world

True

​@@iiiii2673 How are they not the aggressor though, do explain.

@@iiiii2673 Maybe not all, but clear majority - in other words, almost all.

I'll never understand how Russians can believe they are not the "bad guys" when almost every free and democratic country supports Ukraine and mostly only authoritarian dictatorships support Russia. The disillusionment and ignorance is terrifying.

what do you mean? ukraine is the largest military in europe after russia besides that it has got the biggest amount of western support than any country ever russia is fighting against ukraine + half of nato and is winning

Even if their army of fools is equal to their government-empire of lies, nuclear threats are not to be taken lightly.

@@xboxgamerhr Ukraine is 22nd and Russia (supposedly) 2nd. Where have you seen Russia fighting NATO or EU in Ukraine? 😂😂😂 You are still dreaming!

@@xboxgamerhr Russia has been trying to give the West the impression that Russia's military has modernised. That they have the best equipment and trained to a high standard so they work as a unit. This simply isn't true. They tried to face Ukraine on the frontline and got beaten back with over 20,000 dead and triple that injured. The only progress they've made is in the areas they already controlled in Crimea and the Donbass. They have to stay within these areas while bombarding towns and cities where innocent civilians live. It's pathetic. And it's not Russia Vs Ukraine & NATO. It's just an incredible Ukraine army with some brave foreign soldiers assisting them. If NATO were fighting then it would be Russian forces on the defensive. They simply couldn't compete with the logistics capability and military power of NATO.
