As someone who lives in a country neighboring Ukraine, hosted Ukrainian refugees and heard the stories about what is happening in occupied territories directly from escaped friends and relatives, (some of the older ones still remembering stories about nazi occupants), let me tell you one thing: you are massively underestimating Putin. And that is a fact.

What kind of stories do you think the refugees from Donbas are telling in Russia? Did you know that those stories are why this war is ongoing?

I’m asking rhetorical questions because I know you have a biased view on the topic. You’ve long forgotten the humanity of the other side because of the propaganda.

Please do feel free to point us to those stories from “refugees from Donbas”. Also, the Russian cities leveled, Russian families obliterated and Russian children kidnapped - by the Ukrainians. They must be some amazing stories to keep the war going since Donbas is currently pretty much all Russian - controlled.

I see Russian propaganda efforts are still going strong but so easily disproven in this day and age.

You may want to try understanding what has factually been happened in the conflict. You know, for its own sake.

Instead of just asking rhetorical questions, and imagining the stories that you think people must be telling about it.
