Maybe you might rethink it. As in these people are free to give their opinions in what you are told is a authoritarian dictatorship. Yet in Canada you can have your life savings and business taken from you for giving away a cup of coffee or donating $10 to those who have differing opinion. Ya its right out there in the open and yet people refuse to see it all the time. I wonder if they are blind or just refuse to admit they were wrong?
I hope he won't be imprisoned (or worse) for criticizing the leadership of the country. Many people are scared to say their opinion out loud because of the possible negative consequences.
Russian here. Just so you could understand how f-cked up this situation is. We are marching everyday to protest against the war. People are losing their jobs and getting thrown in jail, but we still continue to protest. Members of our healthcare organization wrote a letter against this war. Hundreds of journalists wrote a letter against this war. 227 DEPUTIES (!!!) from small regions of Russia wrote a letter, where they expressed their disgust in Putin's actions. Almost all of our celebrities publicly voiced their disgust about what's happening. Even family members of those few Putin's loyal deputies expressed their concern (their public messages were quickly deleted tho). LITERALLY THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS AGAINST THIS. Putin is a psycopathic usurper, who thinks it is fun to play with human lives. He doesn't respect our voice and never did. He doesn't care about, supposedly, his people and never did. We will continue to do our best to help Ukrainian brothers and sisters. But this whole situation is so surreal to me, i don't even have words to describe it. Like a fever dream times 1000. Edit March 4th: Update for those, who still want it. I think, this is going to be the last time I update this thread. Censorship is getting brutal. All the media and celebrities, that were against this war, got cancelled. Some of them were even arrested. Schools now have an obligatory lesson about the necessity of this war. During protests the police is arresting everyone they can catch: men, women, children, WWII veterans etc. There is now a new law that everyone, who posts anything related to this war, be it facts (!) or unwanted opinions, can be thrown in jail for 15 years. And if you want to know, how bad Russian jails are, Plagued Moth has a great video on this topic (TW: gore). And the government is discussing a possibility of bringing death penalties back. Moscow's protests are dying down. St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg are the most active right now. They are strong and I am proud of them. Meanwhile, the number of people, who aggressively support this bloodshed, is rapidly increasing. Bots are definitely playing a big role in it, but I can't pretend that there are no real people among them. There are. And they are getting more and more comfortable, more and more vocal about their opinion. All of this is taking a major toll on my psyche, for the first time in my life I've experienced shell shock. I can't afford that: my Ukrainian friends need me (thankfully, they are safe for now) and my family needs me. The amount of hatred towards us from the world, the government and Putin's fanboys is insane. It is driving us insane. For all of you, who expressed their support, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your kind words give us hope. If you won't see any more messages from Russians, expressing their concerns about this pointless war, this means our voices were brutally and successfully suffocated. For those, who were questioning my experience and identity, based on nickname, profile picture and even my knowledge of English (you know people can learn languages, right?..) - look at my other replies in this thread. My purpose was to spread the word as detailed as possible. If I am not Russian, how do I know so much details then? How, do you think, I am able to have so much local details about arrests, censorship and alternative media (which, sadly, doesn't exist anymore)? If this isn't enough for you, you do you. I did everything I could. For those, who question my identity because of my opinion - come on now. I am staying true to myself and to many other repressed Russians: this war is a pointless bloodshed. You can argue that this was done in order to protect our borders - there are lots of other ways to do that, without killing innocent citizens and ruining their homes. Why not try good ol' propaganda and informational war, if the government is so smug about it? How about, idk, crazy idea, NOT turning other country into bloody ruins? The answer is simple. No matter how hard propaganda tries to tell that all of this is for the sake of Russia, it is not true. If Putin cared about Russians so much, he wouldn't let our economics crumble into pieces, he wouldn't let the whole world cut us out from even basic needs, such as clothes and food. He wouldn't be so aggressive about shutting people with other opinions up. He wouldn't turn us into the North Korea, where the only Russians left would be those, who lick his boots. If he soooo cared about Russians in Donetsk and Lugansk, he would've focused on humanitarian help and gOoD oLd PrOpAgAnDa. But he doesn't care. We are becoming dirt poor, hated by the whole world and shunned by companies. He doesn't stop. It's either egomania, or dementia, or both of them. Putin and his oligarchs are killing Ukrainian people and ruining the future of Russian people. Plain and simple. I have to go where I am needed. I have a couple of selfish requests: do not forget me. Do not forget represses Russians, who were against the war until the very end. Spread the word about us. Let's hope that peace is around the corner.
My unconditional support goes to the ukrainian People and russian folks, most of whom have never asked for any war and just desire peace and stability. I agree that this feels like a fever dream. This war threatens to send our entire civilization into unprecedented chaos, destruction and doom. Having always lived in a relatively peaceful era, I would have never thought that we'd reach this point.
@@Gintaras64 I didn't hear anything about that and I don't watch TV. I am inclined to believe that it's not true, because I would've heard about it otherwise

The older people experienced the gulags either directly or indirectly. They will not speak up against Putin. That guy that hoped Putin would die has some huge balls.
The older lady saying she supports it and after asks 'is that what you wanted to hear?' Makes me wonder if she really supports it or is just afraid of speaking her truth
@Arnulfo Torres USA plan is to use Ukrainian land as a lunching pad for an invasion of Russia Zbignew Brzezinski Ukrainian people are used as a cannon fodder by USA
The elderly women were noticeably afraid to speak against their government. The young man at the end seems to be making a calculated, self-preserving rationale which doesn't get him into trouble.
theyer not afraid .. nobody is in russia ..(apart form chechnya where he chechens .. have their own rules and live in terror from eachother.. being beaten for not payin your electricity bill on time even but thats chechens not russia. ) you can say whatever you want..
It's not that they are afraid of the government that we have now. They have seen what happened in the past, so they are more careful when it comes to this type of discussions, especially in camera
It is risky for the Russian citizens to say anything negative about their country's and their leaders' actions for well-founded fear is reprisal. These people have been very brave to voice their feelings (and on visible record too).

Hey, it's nice to meet you. See there is on going politics. Ukraine wanted to join nato and most Ukraine were pro russian. Putin didn't wanted Ukraine to be part of nato which is treat to russia security so there was war. I belief , that putin didn't need to declare immediately war against Ukraine. He needed to put tremendous pressure on Ukraine president who is anti pro russian and wanna join nato. Nato has also fool Ukraine and left them alone in war with Russia. America has become weak after there troops withdraw from afghanistan. Putin know all inside and outside politics, he is very experience person I must say. On other hand ukraine president doesn't know inside politics. He was a comedian suddenly becoming president. America is also playing politics with whole world. Nato and USA is also directly or indirectly responsible for ukraine crises. Now ukraine people have learn hard war that they might never be member of nato as nato didn't help them. America knows he cannot direct fight war with Russia at present. As Russia is also super power after American But currently america is losing its super power status. It's seems so china might be next super power as there economy progress. Secondly, America is clever nations. Those nations which are not part of nato has interfere and destroyed there nations like iraq, afghanistan. And here now putin also wants all nations that had partition from Soviet Union to be reunited under one umbrella. So all is politics I must say you brother. You must understand and take decision that way bro
Russian American here. I'm mortified. I feel betrayed. I've always supported Putin and the Motherland. We look like bullies and clowns. Our country is the most hated on the planet now. Putin should be ashamed.

@@gh23kf they really didn't, that is a lie rather unfortunately. Ukraine has a right to do as it pleases without the dictatorship next door piping in. NATO had no intentions of letting them join, it's the reason they're not in it past the open door policy. So Russia can't even lie about that one.
@@AGGINIGGA He's right. NATO was created for the sole purpose to intimidate, threaten and destroy the USSR/Russia and China, which failed. Former members of the German NSDAP of WW2 became members of NATO after the war. NATO isn't a defence organisation, it's an organisation that is trying to provoke others and cause conflict.

I feel incredibly poorly for the Russian people. If it is true that the war is costing them 20 billion a day, then the economic ramifications for the people will be massive, not to mention the sanctions and financial attacks on banks.
Don't worry, the Russian people are already poor. The money is coming off the top where the Oligarchy has hoarded the entire wealth of the country. Well, unfortunately this can always get worse for the common person.
Surely Russia is up for 80 billion now in damages , reparations, and compensation. Now that crippling sanctions will not be lifted untill Ukraine is happy . Why is Russia still inflicting damage in Ukraine ? They should know surely that they've lost their quest and theyll only i crease their own costs.

@@markusasennoptchevich2037 that is sadly true. The west imposes sanctions: russian loyalists say "these bad westerners again". And if we would have sanctioned them they would have said:"look, the west approves". No matter what reality is, brainwashed people will always say Putin is right.

Interesting. The two older ladies who "supported" Putin acted like they were parroting the Party line back in the USSR, rather than their actual opinions. The first even asked, "Is that what you wanted to hear?"
After there are no bread lines since late 80's, they are content, and dont know any better. Most Russians know they dont have democracy, and many choose to accept it as long as nobody disturbs their way of life.
Oh trust me, most aren't. They are the backbone of Putin's entire electorate. Our version of a conservative boomer is this - a United Russia voter who will find justifications for any of his actions as long as they aren't dying in complete poverty, surviving on the $100 pension he's willing to pay them. They most likely haven't seen Stalin in full action in their lifetime to be scared, but have lived most of their life on the USSR's empty promises so that's what they're used to. They are also part of the reason why the later generations are so passive and hopeless about the whole situation - we often feel like it's not going to end until the boomers die out completely, and at least half of Gen X raised by them.
Deep respect for every russian, who is brave enough to voice against war! From a (=my) german point of view, NATO did mistakes and is part of the problem. But what Putin does here, is the most terrifying thing I do "experience" (obviously the civiliens of ukraine as well as all people who has to live in a war experience real danger and pain) in my young live. If you are russian and read this. I want you to know, that most people I know, do not judge you for anything. Everybody knows, it is Putin, his officers, his capitalist partners and his autocratic friends. Russian people and russian culture are beautiful. Man I whish human nature wouldn't be that way... Thank you all for your courage.
It's great to meet sensible people who know that government=/= just common people who didn't choose to be born here. Sometimes I even feel disgusted by myself for being a Russian citizen, you know
Is it true that in the West there is now a wave of xenophobia against Russian emigrants, tourists, bans for everything that one way or another personifies Russia?
“…is that what you wanted to hear? I support Putin.” Yeah that means she absolutely does NOT support him but is terrified about what will happen if she doesn’t say she is. That’s horrible and it makes me so fucking sad

@@winter6849 Um 😐 no. They literally kill people there for speaking out against Putin and the Kremlin. In case you don’t understand basic psychology, when people say the phrase “is that what you want to hear?” It means they’re looking to give the right answer so they can avoid trouble. It’s a fear based response.
@@anyways4438 you have zero acknowledgment of politics.. you don't how the Russian government acts. It's a communist government. They ain't free to say whatever they want.

You should study the Russian history to comprehend all of this situation
An old man of 69 started the war. And he is supported by old nodding dolls. In about 20 years they will be gone. What future do they leave for their children? This is just sad!
Old peoples mentality starts turning back into a child mentality the older they get so yeah we are doomed for putting old sacks in charge of everything
Some of them where just afraid to say something against Putin. Remember the old lady saying: "Is it that, what you wanted me to say?" The old people had enough time to see, what happens to you in Russia if you say something, the government doesn´t like.
Lots of good old people around. Not so much his age but his mental state. He is obviously deranged. Why are there so many world leaders with mental illness?

@Esphaeras Praestans Didn't say it wasn't going to be a fight. I meant little opposition from other countries and NATO. Russian nukes are a huge deterrent for others to get physically involved.
I recommend the speech of Putin to you. I'm pacifist too. And the speech makes me almost cry because I can hear the despair in his voice. Should we really keep doing nothing against the US-Imperium? The truth is we all don't know how to solve this. I live in Germany and I am afraid. Because strange forces are emerging in our country. The so-called "Antifa" (Anti-fascists). The catch is. They are obviously radically fascist. I fear Putin is right. I hope ... no ... We hope we get the curve.
"Disgusted" Me too. Nothing we civilians can do from the few leads who hold invisible power. Only those who are closes to these people, not standing up, is the biggest issue.
@@mike7layne289 The speech of Putin is what thoroughly convinced me of his lack of sincerity. Days before he claimed the operations were just to protect the separatists in the Donbas region, yet once he spoke, he claimed he saw Ukraine as an extension of Russia, and Ukrainians an extension of the Russian people. He's been open about his desire to regain territory lost during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it's obvious he wants a return of a Russian empire. He called the collapse of the USSR the greatest geopolitical tragedy in history. The only reason he's against the "US Imperium" is because it is ultimately his biggest blockade in the domination of Eastern Europe, and eventually, Russia's domination of Europe entirely.
Why Putin still attack after warning and talking other countries have done? You have to agree that in life, there will always be a lot of evil and no amount of talking will solve it. like PolPot, killed 2M, l I guess if you talked to him nicely he wouldn't have kill them right?

@Дельный Совет We can see the war is very unpopular in Russia, Oops Putin miscalculated and tries asking them to surrender because they're stalled and taking heavy losses. They're not just facing the Ukrainian military there's numerous civilian militias and they're not taking a knee. They have much more courage than Russians who put up with putin's corruption.
Or just be peaceful and stop shoving your nose in others' business. Look at Spain, Italy, they used to be scum imperialists, now rich and peaceful countries, they just have enough to fend off aggressors but do not collect nuclear heads like I used to collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards back in the days.

I know doing your own research is challenging, but there's no alternative when it comes to becoming informed about a particular subject. You cannot rely on people like me to hold your hand and do the research for you.
@@cloudburst98 A loose summary of Putin's speech: "The area known as Ukraine has always been historically Russian. The Ukraine we think of it today was setup long ago as something like a city state within Russia by Lenin during WW1. Then as the USSR was collapsing they needed to trim the fat so to speak they let Ukraine be independent so no more people needed to suffer than necessary, with the idea that one day once things got better they would be readmitted. Well, time passed and the Soviet Union fell and Ukraine was worried it would be left out in the cold, but it wasn't. From 1991 to 2013 Russia gave 250 billion dollars to them to make sure they were no hard feelings and to make sure things there could keep running smoothly. Turns out though all the money was stolen by Western foreign interests and Ukraine itself is pushed by these same powers to be more nationalistic and russophobic, all the while suffering countless economic issues by these same powers. These same Western countries, NGO's, and big banks put on a 30 year propaganda campaign in order to do two things, make Ukraine forget its past and have them eternally scared of Russia. This is a problem because a large portion of eastern Ukraine (the main part in question here) is mostly made up of actual Russian people there before the break up in 91'. Supression of these people got even worse when Ukraine made it illegal to speak Russian within the country. This made no sense to him, because to reject EVERYTHING Russian would be to reject the very existence of the Ukranian nation state. But then where would it go? That brings me to the next problem: the NATO issue. With Western international finance completely crippling Ukraine from the inside out, they inevitably would have not have much of a military of their own. Now, what should have happened in this case is a Rus/Ukr sitdown where Russia hears what's going on and can offer aid where it can. Sadly 30 years of propaganda scared it away from doing so, and instead Western-back West Ukraine used all of its foreign money to pay terrorists and neo nazi groups to wreak havoc on the more properly Russian East Ukraine. They did this in hopes of calling aid from NATO and other western powers to, apparently, free them from the thumb of Putin? Putin was confused by this because it was foreign finance that crippled the country, attacked it's people, it's monuments, as well as it's churches. Not Russia. Nevertheless less Ukraine never needed to call for help from NATO because--the EU and US quietly snuck troops into Ukraine already and cleared out air space for what was to come. This has a number of problems, not least of them being that this is flagrant act of aggression against Russia, but I digress. First is the international rule that no use of NATO can happen on a country that borders Russia. The West lied. Second is that even if Ukraine was a part of NATO (and it isn't) NATO can not be used in lieu of a standing army. The West broke it's promise again. Putin is particularly pissed about this because the West promised not to try and creep in any further NATO nations over previous Soviet soil, nevertheless it happened numerous times over since the USSR's collapse. Once again, the West never kept it's promise. The last thing was Ukraine still has access to much of the Soviet era nuclear equipment. Now, it may not be working, but Putin suggests with all of the money and brain power it's receiving from foreign interests, he has evidence the former soviet state is planning to re-update much of the old equipment and that it's only a matter of time before a desperate, scared, and impoverished Ukraine does something even more unthinkable to its own people. The issue we are facing now is Western-backed West Ukraine is using foreign money and forces to devastate Russian-majority East Ukraine. In the meantime the two small provinces on that side of the country were tired of the abuse. They asked to secede from Ukraine, but were denied. As a result they asked for Mother Russia's assistance, and she obliged. This speech was to make clear that Putin, as well as the rest of Russia, recognizes these two provinces as two new nation states and that it will do it's best to protect ALL of Russia's people (from both East and West Ukraine) while it pushes out the foreign invaders and corrupt leaders that have destroyed a once beautiful country and restore proper rule to the area once again."
@@АлинаУмрихина Not so. Most of us are able to understand that most ordinary Russians don't want war. We know that this is all about Putin's ego..... But there is no denying Putin has set Russia back 50 years on the World stage. I'm not sure what he will do about that.. Sadly, it means that you and millions of other Russians will suffer because of the sanctions. It will affect us here in the West too.....
American here: I've said this on another thread, but it's worth repeating here (IMO), that most of the young Russians I see interviewed are more deserving of democracy than the legions of white Americans (of which I am one) who worship Trump and his authoritarian tendencies. Trump's not as intelligent as Putin, but they're of the same cloth. I gotta think that like Trump, Putin was raised by a father who was himself pathological and incapable of providing his son with a unbiding sense of self-respect and it comes out in awful ways for the rest of us. Well wishes to all Russians of good-will. This American has great respect for you, the many positive aspects of your culture. I don't see an end to the tragedy that is Ukraine, but hopefully one day soon, circumstances will arise that enable Russians to go into Ukraine to help rebuild what authoritarianism (...evil for lack of a better word) has destroyed these past two weeks.

@MrHolyKindness "I support Putin! Is it that, what you wanted me to say?" The old lady hates Putin just as much as the younger people, but she knows how dangerous it is to speak your mind in Russia. Really, really sad. They can´t stop Putin. Not alone.
Russian citizens! Please fight for your freedom as the Ukrainians are! I'm from Poland and I would like to see our societies to be more integrated and have normal trade and relationship. Please fight as we did in the past agianst aouthoritarian rule. I'm sure you have power and courage to win! Putin is just a man, he has powerful friends, but those friends lost a lot of money because of putin, keep protesting and you shall win! May force be with you!
Why do people think that Russians do nothing? That we support this madness and all the lawlessness things happened… Many people aren’t satisfied and disagree with a course of domestic policy and foreign policy. We’re trying to do something to change the way we live, to fight for our freedom but all the attempts have failed so far. On the 24th of February thousands of people went to the Pushkinskaya square and were chanting anti-war slogans. That night it all ended up with over 2000 arrests all over the country and blood on the streets. Unfortunately no matter how hard we try but it’s impossible for us citizens to change something without the support of the army. As long as the military forces will have been supporting the government we have little chances to do anything
sir plssss we need help Ukraine, the people must be the strong weapon for those leaders who want somebodys will be died! plssss RUSSIAN PEOPLE plssssss help the UKRAINE!!! Condemned PUTIN plssss!!!! they need you!! the UKRAINE need the people of RUSSIA to put and end to the madness of all leaders!!!!
Notice how the elderly who lived under communism understand that talking bad about the head of state is never a good idea. You get the sense that they don't support Putin but understand that saying so out loud is not a good idea.

0:25 Dang this guys brave, I respect him for saying what he really thinks.
Maybe you might rethink it. As in these people are free to give their opinions in what you are told is a authoritarian dictatorship. Yet in Canada you can have your life savings and business taken from you for giving away a cup of coffee or donating $10 to those who have differing opinion. Ya its right out there in the open and yet people refuse to see it all the time. I wonder if they are blind or just refuse to admit they were wrong?
Lol exactly! I didn't even know you were allowed to say things like that over there!
I hope he won't be imprisoned (or worse) for criticizing the leadership of the country. Many people are scared to say their opinion out loud because of the possible negative consequences.
Yuppp thats what i say
@@TP-ie3hj what are you talking about?
Russian here. Just so you could understand how f-cked up this situation is. We are marching everyday to protest against the war. People are losing their jobs and getting thrown in jail, but we still continue to protest. Members of our healthcare organization wrote a letter against this war. Hundreds of journalists wrote a letter against this war. 227 DEPUTIES (!!!) from small regions of Russia wrote a letter, where they expressed their disgust in Putin's actions. Almost all of our celebrities publicly voiced their disgust about what's happening. Even family members of those few Putin's loyal deputies expressed their concern (their public messages were quickly deleted tho).
LITERALLY THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS AGAINST THIS.
Putin is a psycopathic usurper, who thinks it is fun to play with human lives. He doesn't respect our voice and never did. He doesn't care about, supposedly, his people and never did.
We will continue to do our best to help Ukrainian brothers and sisters. But this whole situation is so surreal to me, i don't even have words to describe it. Like a fever dream times 1000.
Edit March 4th: Update for those, who still want it. I think, this is going to be the last time I update this thread.
Censorship is getting brutal. All the media and celebrities, that were against this war, got cancelled. Some of them were even arrested. Schools now have an obligatory lesson about the necessity of this war. During protests the police is arresting everyone they can catch: men, women, children, WWII veterans etc. There is now a new law that everyone, who posts anything related to this war, be it facts (!) or unwanted opinions, can be thrown in jail for 15 years. And if you want to know, how bad Russian jails are, Plagued Moth has a great video on this topic (TW: gore). And the government is discussing a possibility of bringing death penalties back.
Moscow's protests are dying down. St. Petersburg and Ekaterinburg are the most active right now. They are strong and I am proud of them.
Meanwhile, the number of people, who aggressively support this bloodshed, is rapidly increasing. Bots are definitely playing a big role in it, but I can't pretend that there are no real people among them. There are. And they are getting more and more comfortable, more and more vocal about their opinion.
All of this is taking a major toll on my psyche, for the first time in my life I've experienced shell shock. I can't afford that: my Ukrainian friends need me (thankfully, they are safe for now) and my family needs me. The amount of hatred towards us from the world, the government and Putin's fanboys is insane. It is driving us insane.
For all of you, who expressed their support, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your kind words give us hope. If you won't see any more messages from Russians, expressing their concerns about this pointless war, this means our voices were brutally and successfully suffocated.
For those, who were questioning my experience and identity, based on nickname, profile picture and even my knowledge of English (you know people can learn languages, right?..) - look at my other replies in this thread. My purpose was to spread the word as detailed as possible. If I am not Russian, how do I know so much details then? How, do you think, I am able to have so much local details about arrests, censorship and alternative media (which, sadly, doesn't exist anymore)? If this isn't enough for you, you do you. I did everything I could. For those, who question my identity because of my opinion - come on now.
I am staying true to myself and to many other repressed Russians: this war is a pointless bloodshed. You can argue that this was done in order to protect our borders - there are lots of other ways to do that, without killing innocent citizens and ruining their homes. Why not try good ol' propaganda and informational war, if the government is so smug about it? How about, idk, crazy idea, NOT turning other country into bloody ruins?
The answer is simple. No matter how hard propaganda tries to tell that all of this is for the sake of Russia, it is not true. If Putin cared about Russians so much, he wouldn't let our economics crumble into pieces, he wouldn't let the whole world cut us out from even basic needs, such as clothes and food. He wouldn't be so aggressive about shutting people with other opinions up. He wouldn't turn us into the North Korea, where the only Russians left would be those, who lick his boots. If he soooo cared about Russians in Donetsk and Lugansk, he would've focused on humanitarian help and gOoD oLd PrOpAgAnDa.
But he doesn't care. We are becoming dirt poor, hated by the whole world and shunned by companies. He doesn't stop. It's either egomania, or dementia, or both of them.
Putin and his oligarchs are killing Ukrainian people and ruining the future of Russian people. Plain and simple.
I have to go where I am needed. I have a couple of selfish requests: do not forget me. Do not forget represses Russians, who were against the war until the very end. Spread the word about us.
Let's hope that peace is around the corner.
My unconditional support goes to the ukrainian People and russian folks, most of whom have never asked for any war and just desire peace and stability. I agree that this feels like a fever dream. This war threatens to send our entire civilization into unprecedented chaos, destruction and doom. Having always lived in a relatively peaceful era, I would have never thought that we'd reach this point.

Hey, it's nice to meet you. See there is on going politics. Ukraine wanted to join nato and most Ukraine were pro russian. Putin didn't wanted Ukraine to be part of nato which is treat to russia security so there was war.
I belief , that putin didn't need to declare immediately war against Ukraine. He needed to put tremendous pressure on Ukraine president who is anti pro russian and wanna join nato.
Nato has also fool Ukraine and left them alone in war with Russia. America has become weak after there troops withdraw from afghanistan. Putin know all inside and outside politics, he is very experience person I must say.
On other hand ukraine president doesn't know inside politics. He was a comedian suddenly becoming president.
America is also playing politics with whole world. Nato and USA is also directly or indirectly responsible for ukraine crises.
Now ukraine people have learn hard war that they might never be member of nato as nato didn't help them.
America knows he cannot direct fight war with Russia at present.
As Russia is also super power after American
But currently america is losing its super power status.
It's seems so china might be next super power as there economy progress.
Secondly, America is clever nations. Those nations which are not part of nato has interfere and destroyed there nations like iraq, afghanistan.
And here now putin also wants all nations that had partition from Soviet Union to be reunited under one umbrella.
So all is politics I must say you brother. You must understand and take decision that way bro
Russian American here. I'm mortified. I feel betrayed. I've always supported Putin and the Motherland. We look like bullies and clowns. Our country is the most hated on the planet now. Putin should be ashamed.

@@AGGINIGGA He's right. NATO was created for the sole purpose to intimidate, threaten and destroy the USSR/Russia and China, which failed.

Oh trust me, most aren't. They are the backbone of Putin's entire electorate. Our version of a conservative boomer is this - a United Russia voter who will find justifications for any of his actions as long as they aren't dying in complete poverty, surviving on the $100 pension he's willing to pay them. They most likely haven't seen Stalin in full action in their lifetime to be scared, but have lived most of their life on the USSR's empty promises so that's what they're used to. They are also part of the reason why the later generations are so passive and hopeless about the whole situation - we often feel like it's not going to end until the boomers die out completely, and at least half of Gen X raised by them.

It's great to meet sensible people who know that government=/= just common people who didn't choose to be born here.
Sometimes I even feel disgusted by myself for being a Russian citizen, you know
@@shurale123 Why would you feel disgusted about something you can't control? Bad mentality

Is it true that in the West there is now a wave of xenophobia against Russian emigrants, tourists, bans for everything that one way or another personifies Russia?
“…is that what you wanted to hear? I support Putin.” Yeah that means she absolutely does NOT support him but is terrified about what will happen if she doesn’t say she is. That’s horrible and it makes me so fucking sad
You’re just being a smartass now lol interpreting what the lady said and changed it to suit your imagination is pretty cringey..... kinda like western media
@@winter6849 You know you can get killed if you are angainst the government
@@winter6849 Um 😐 no. They literally kill people there for speaking out against Putin and the Kremlin. In case you don’t understand basic psychology, when people say the phrase “is that what you want to hear?” It means they’re looking to give the right answer so they can avoid trouble. It’s a fear based response.
That's bullshit, nobody dies for saying they hate Putin yet, she really is just brainwashed.
@@anyways4438 you have zero acknowledgment of politics.. you don't how the Russian government acts. It's a communist government. They ain't free to say whatever they want. Just like in North Korea.. if you say something against them you can get killed or arrested. Now many people are being arrested or killed by the police. You should study the Russian history to comprehend all of this situation
An old man of 69 started the war. And he is supported by old nodding dolls. In about 20 years they will be gone. What future do they leave for their children? This is just sad!
Old peoples mentality starts turning back into a child mentality the older they get so yeah we are doomed for putting old sacks in charge of everything
Some of them where just afraid to say something against Putin.
Remember the old lady saying: "Is it that, what you wanted me to say?"
The old people had enough time to see, what happens to you in Russia if you say something, the government doesn´t like.
Lots of good old people around. Not so much his age but his mental state. He is obviously deranged. Why are there so many world leaders with mental illness? People like Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Kim Jong Un of North Korea, and Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow of Turkmenistan. All completely certifiable.

Here is an American perspective. Putin will take Ukraine with little opposition other than sanctions.
@Дельный Совет yeah maybe he is a coward but that's nothing out of the ordinary
Still he got that this war is only for the benefit of the russian elite
@Esphaeras Praestans
Didn't say it wasn't going to be a fight. I meant little opposition from other countries and NATO. Russian nukes are a huge deterrent for others to get physically involved.
The old want war more then the young, they know they spend most time on earth already AND won't have to fight
It seemed more like they're afraid to say otherwise
No they don’t want to speak out. They have bad memories from speaking out against the gov
War is when old people tell young people what to do.
I'm crying because of how smart and decent the real citizens are, compared to who dictates them 😤

Holly molly, im so disgusted by the war, and by the people supporting it.
Talk and peace is the best way to solve things
Russia is trying to speak for 8 years about .
I recommend the speech of Putin to you. I'm pacifist too. And the speech makes me almost cry because I can hear the despair in his voice. Should we really keep doing nothing against the US-Imperium? The truth is we all don't know how to solve this. I live in Germany and I am afraid. Because strange forces are emerging in our country. The so-called "Antifa" (Anti-fascists). The catch is. They are obviously radically fascist. I fear Putin is right. I hope ... no ... We hope we get the curve.
"Disgusted"
Me too. Nothing we civilians can do from the few leads who hold invisible power.
Only those who are closes to these people, not standing up, is the biggest issue.
@@mike7layne289 The speech of Putin is what thoroughly convinced me of his lack of sincerity. Days before he claimed the operations were just to protect the separatists in the Donbas region, yet once he spoke, he claimed he saw Ukraine as an extension of Russia, and Ukrainians an extension of the Russian people. He's been open about his desire to regain territory lost during the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it's obvious he wants a return of a Russian empire. He called the collapse of the USSR the greatest geopolitical tragedy in history.
The only reason he's against the "US Imperium" is because it is ultimately his biggest blockade in the domination of Eastern Europe, and eventually, Russia's domination of Europe entirely.
Why Putin still attack after warning and talking other countries have done? You have to agree that in life, there will always be a lot of evil and no amount of talking will solve it. like PolPot, killed 2M, l I guess if you talked to him nicely he wouldn't have kill them right? Hitler, Mao the list goes on. Only way to beat them is to get rid of them.
the second guy was spot on. we all hope for his untimely departure soon
I hope for your departure instead.
@@rebel1766 you seriously think what he is doing and nuclear escalation is going to end well for either side? we need to deescalate this situation, his departure due to natural causes would make this easier is all im saying, i didn’t say we need to kill him or anything.

Could be putin's downfall because he is pretending to be a president and not a dictator.
No one except Putler
@Дельный Совет We can see the war is very unpopular in Russia, Oops Putin miscalculated and tries asking them to surrender because they're stalled and taking heavy losses. They're not just facing the Ukrainian military there's numerous civilian militias and they're not taking a knee. They have much more courage than Russians who put up with putin's corruption.
0:25. Give that brave man a medal. If Russia will survive the 21st century will be because of people like him.
Lesson learned by Ukraine and passed on to any other country being asked to disarm. Don't trust superpowers, never give up your nukes !
Or just be peaceful and stop shoving your nose in others' business. Look at Spain, Italy, they used to be scum imperialists, now rich and peaceful countries, they just have enough to fend off aggressors but do not collect nuclear heads like I used to collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards back in the days.

when Putin died............
Why was everyone silent the past 8 years about the massacre of thousands of ethnic Russians by the Ukrainian government? Why was everyone silent about Ukraine's non-compliance with the Minsk agreements, which now use the word rule of law? Where was everyone when 52 people were burned alive in Odessa? Where was everyone in 2014 when an elected government in a major European country was overthrown and a bunch of neo-Nazis seized power?
Of course, I know that most people have no idea about this side of the story because our news feed is a one-sided picture of the situation. I am now providing that information from the other side. Do with it what you will, but silence is no longer an option for me.

@@luknatu5446 Its nice finding out not everyone is horrible. That brings people together. The word you were looking for is "reaffirming". Also the US went to Iraq on more than several occasions.

News flash: governments ARE people. People with the deep seeded need to control other people.
@@magna116 Honestly after reading your comment I dont even know what you were trying to bring to the conversation. Everyone knows governments are made of people but they are not representative of the people and that was the point. People make UP a government, which is an entity.

My mum is Lithuanian but father is Russian
And I never been in Russia but I believe u not all like Putin mind !

Bless u guys! Hopefully everything will be as good as was before! #peace
Great to hear these guys speaking up against such a monster and psychopath
Some are afraid of course.
You can see the old woman even said "This is what you wanted to hear" so it's not even her genuent opinion, she just was scared that they were state owned journalists.
Ukraine dont give up without a fight 💪
For more casualties????

The Russian billionaires are supported by Putin.
It's so sad that the citizens of Russia have to suffer for the actions of a madman. They never asked for this
The really sad fact is the most did, and still do. Unlike the minority of real heroes. That is a huge problem we will somehow have to address.
All the respect to the second guy!
You should really have thought of hiding the faces of these people, It cant be too difficult for Russian intelligence to track these people down if they desired. also with the knowledge of anonymity Russian people will also be far more likely to speak their mind. take the woman at 0:46 saying "that is what you wanted to hear? I do support it" she's clearly acting like you're pointing a gun to her head.
it astounds me that anyone attempting to exercise journalistic intercourse with members of the Russian public would put these people in such danger, you've probably killed the guy at 0:25 if they take acception to what he said.
They don't care, they fed you the opinions they wanted you to hear, that's all that matters to them.
Stop fantasizing, are you living in the Stone Age? We do not have any persecution, we can calmly say whatever we want, we can openly scold our government for that other action, we do not prohibit anything)))) what makes you all think that we live in fear? This is ridiculous
I really feel for the ordinary citizens of Russia being dragged into this farce by their Dear Leader....I have met quite a few Russians along my travels and they are always generous, interesting people. My cousin also travelled across Russia by train and loved his encounters with the people....I really hope they can get rid of this Despot destroying both Ukraine and Russia alike. PEACE

#StandWithUkraine Courageous #RussianProtests #DownWithPutin #RussianSoldiersLayDownYourWeapons (Military service [for males] is still compulsory in Russia -- and the Russian government treats its soldiers horrifically -- little food [often to starvation levels], dismal compensation, and so many are so very young and inexperienced. So many have limited information and/or education [at that age] other than propaganda and word of mouth. Many, understandably, don't know how or are afraid to conscientiously object.)
Want to help?
*Donate to and/or volunteer at verified legitimate non-profit organizations (for example, food and medical supplies
*Educate yourself and help inform others, based on verified reliable sources
*Spread the word and don't stop (e.g., social media, write articles, discuss with others)
*Step up, stand up, speak out
* Be respectful, sensitive, empathetic to all those suffering in from war/related crises
BTW, there are many, often intertwined, reasons, based on a long and complex history, as to why some Russians continue to accept Putin's propaganda. Context, specifics, the particular individual -- all matter. Take care generalizing, oversimplifying or you risk further promulgating misunderstanding, misinformation, and, sometimes, bigotry.
You really should have blurred their faces. Did you even tell them that you are publishing online without blurring?
I’m glad to hear people are raising pacifists now.I simply can’t wait for these people to take power and push to a better world.

People like you really need to educate yourselves before commenting on things that you know absolutely nothing about. I know doing your own research is challenging, but there's no alternative when it comes to becoming informed about a particular subject. You cannot rely on people like me to hold your hand and do the research for you.
@@cloudburst98 A loose summary of Putin's speech:
"The area known as Ukraine has always been historically Russian. The Ukraine we think of it today was setup long ago as something like a city state within Russia by Lenin during WW1. Then as the USSR was collapsing they needed to trim the fat so to speak they let Ukraine be independent so no more people needed to suffer than necessary, with the idea that one day once things got better they would be readmitted. Well, time passed and the Soviet Union fell and Ukraine was worried it would be left out in the cold, but it wasn't. From 1991 to 2013 Russia gave 250 billion dollars to them to make sure they were no hard feelings and to make sure things there could keep running smoothly. Turns out though all the money was stolen by Western foreign interests and Ukraine itself is pushed by these same powers to be more nationalistic and russophobic, all the while suffering countless economic issues by these same powers. These same Western countries, NGO's, and big banks put on a 30 year propaganda campaign in order to do two things, make Ukraine forget its past and have them eternally scared of Russia. This is a problem because a large portion of eastern Ukraine (the main part in question here) is mostly made up of actual Russian people there before the break up in 91'. Supression of these people got even worse when Ukraine made it illegal to speak Russian within the country. This made no sense to him, because to reject EVERYTHING Russian would be to reject the very existence of the Ukranian nation state. But then where would it go?
That brings me to the next problem: the NATO issue. With Western international finance completely crippling Ukraine from the inside out, they inevitably would have not have much of a military of their own. Now, what should have happened in this case is a Rus/Ukr sitdown where Russia hears what's going on and can offer aid where it can. Sadly 30 years of propaganda scared it away from doing so, and instead Western-back West Ukraine used all of its foreign money to pay terrorists and neo nazi groups to wreak havoc on the more properly Russian East Ukraine. They did this in hopes of calling aid from NATO and other western powers to, apparently, free them from the thumb of Putin? Putin was confused by this because it was foreign finance that crippled the country, attacked it's people, it's monuments, as well as it's churches. Not Russia. Nevertheless less Ukraine never needed to call for help from NATO because--the EU and US quietly snuck troops into Ukraine already and cleared out air space for what was to come. This has a number of problems, not least of them being that this is flagrant act of aggression against Russia, but I digress.
First is the international rule that no use of NATO can happen on a country that borders Russia. The West lied. Second is that even if Ukraine was a part of NATO (and it isn't) NATO can not be used in lieu of a standing army. The West broke it's promise again. Putin is particularly pissed about this because the West promised not to try and creep in any further NATO nations over previous Soviet soil, nevertheless it happened numerous times over since the USSR's collapse. Once again, the West never kept it's promise. The last thing was Ukraine still has access to much of the Soviet era nuclear equipment. Now, it may not be working, but Putin suggests with all of the money and brain power it's receiving from foreign interests, he has evidence the former soviet state is planning to re-update much of the old equipment and that it's only a matter of time before a desperate, scared, and impoverished Ukraine does something even more unthinkable to its own people.
The issue we are facing now is Western-backed West Ukraine is using foreign money and forces to devastate Russian-majority East Ukraine. In the meantime the two small provinces on that side of the country were tired of the abuse. They asked to secede from Ukraine, but were denied. As a result they asked for Mother Russia's assistance, and she obliged. This speech was to make clear that Putin, as well as the rest of Russia, recognizes these two provinces as two new nation states and that it will do it's best to protect ALL of Russia's people (from both East and West Ukraine) while it pushes out the foreign invaders and corrupt leaders that have destroyed a once beautiful country and restore proper rule to the area once again."

American here: I've said this on another thread, but it's worth repeating here (IMO), that most of the young Russians I see interviewed are more deserving of democracy than the legions of white Americans (of which I am one) who worship Trump and his authoritarian tendencies.
Trump's not as intelligent as Putin, but they're of the same cloth. I gotta think that like Trump, Putin was raised by a father who was himself pathological and incapable of providing his son with a unbiding sense of self-respect and it comes out in awful ways for the rest of us.
Well wishes to all Russians of good-will. This American has great respect for you, the many positive aspects of your culture. I don't see an end to the tragedy that is Ukraine, but hopefully one day soon, circumstances will arise that enable Russians to go into Ukraine to help rebuild what authoritarianism (...evil for lack of a better word) has destroyed these past two weeks.

Why do people think that Russians do nothing? That we support this madness and all the lawlessness things happened… Many people aren’t satisfied and disagree with a course of domestic policy and foreign policy. We’re trying to do something to change the way we live, to fight for our freedom but all the attempts have failed so far. On the 24th of February thousands of people went to the Pushkinskaya square and were chanting anti-war slogans. That night it all ended up with over 2000 arrests all over the country and blood on the streets. Unfortunately no matter how hard we try but it’s impossible for us citizens to change something without the support of the army. As long as the military forces will have been supporting the government we have little chances to do anything
