I come from a city near the border with Ukraine (I am from Russia) and I can tell you with confidence that this is the stupidest war, 80% of Russians have Ukrainian roots and relatives in Ukraine. When will these "rulers" have had enough of playing war and sit down at the negotiating table. The losses are too great for both sides, no matter what anyone says.

I love how russians always jump in to talk about ‘both sides’ and ‘rulers’, when it’s your ruler who chose to invade, and it’s russian people who are choosing to go into a foreign country, occupy cities and kill civilians. It’s also russians that are choosing to move to occupied cities like Mariupol and buy property near literal mass graves. What’s even more mind-boggling is that russians are joyfully going on a killing spree while like you said having relatives in Ukraine. But yeah, let’s play the victim and say ‘both sides’ are struggling.

you think it's too easy to oust this president who's been running the country for 20 years lol Any reasonable person will tell you that war is harsh and it's unlikely that an ordinary person has the right to fix it.

You still seriously believe it’s just about the president? It’s not the president personally bombing cities, invading villages, and moving into occupied territories. Is Putin the one buying apartments in occupied Mariupol where literally thousands of people were murdered??? Or is it your fellow russians? It’s so easy to just blame the president when it’s regular people doing this. If Putin died today, russians would keep this war going, and it’s wild that you can’t see that.

this is your opinion and your point of view, I don’t want to swear and force you to believe my views on everything, but alas, no matter who starts the war, innocent people die, I am not a politician, I am an ordinary person who wants and wishes for everyone to live in peace.
