@@clungeify Their looks say they hate killing these guys though. War is terrible, but unfortunately russia forced it on ukraine 8 years ago when they annexed crimea and invaded donbass. Unfortunately, good russians didnt do enough to stop putin or his wars or murder of journalists or critics or even to to expose the alleged murder of hundreds of russians jn thr flase flag attacks on apartments in russia by the fsb, for 20 years, and now two countries hav had to suffer, georgia an ukraine. So its up to russians if they dont want to sink with putins delusions...they stopped a military coup in 1991. Even now, some russians are actively allowing their soldiers to abuse or loot from ukrainians (i think even their commanders and general including putin might be turning a blind eye), and selling loot online in russia. Good russians know how they got to this point i hope, and i hope they can start the long road back to sensibility.
