What do Russians think of the war in Ukraine?

On the ground in Moscow, ABC News’ James Longman reports that some Russians he spoke with told him they view the war in Ukraine as “patriotic” and noble.

I am a Russian in Russia, and I am absolutely devastated by Putin’s unhinged, disgusting behavior. Anyone who thinks Russians stand behind Putin is wrong.

[Sbiryachka]

Im Russian and I’m strongly AGAINST THE WAR and Putin. I stand with Ukraine 🇺🇦 Ukraine will prevail, glory to 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Next time Interview the Russian people and have them on camera with their face blurred out saying what they want to say.

[channelingusllcix]

Any Russian who says they aren't worried about being isolated are too young to remember the Soviet era

[thewedge]

Sorry Americans, to your great disappointment, you won't be getting the Russians to overthrow Putin...

[janechoy]

Would be great if there are actual interviews with Russians.

[thewedge]

Hahahah bet you weren't expecting that were you ABC. You don't understand the Russian mentality at all...

Reporter: Anything you need to say against invading Ukraine

Russian: “Yo, is this dude trying get me executed by Putin?”

[a.p.]

The Russians the more you cut them off the more stronger they become.

I'm russian that live in Russia. War is wrong and all that things and now I'm poor again. Oh well. It kinda still better than Ukraine in NATO with clown in president seat.
Things happens. Not a first time.

Before I went to sleep, my wife said to me: This Russia is such a bad country, If Ukraine wants to join Nato, it is their business and freedom, Russia has no right to intervene, this is just an excuse for Russia to invade Ukraine.
So I said nothing, I just went to the kitchen and took a knife to the bedside, then I said: Let’s go to sleep.
My wife looked at me with her wide eyes: What the heck are you doing, sleeping with a knife?!?!
I said: No worry, let’s go to sleep. Besides, sleeping with a knife is none of your business and it is my freedom.
My wife said: How can I sleep when you are sleeping with a knife? What if you accidentally cut me?
I said: Well, You don’t even trust your own husband, how can you expect Russia to trust Ukraine? Me sleeping with a knife is like Ukraine joining the Nato.
😂🤔

I tried to express the opinion of a Russian citizen, but the "democratic" resource simply deleted my comment. Therefore, in Russia they don't even want to listen to your lies anymore.

In other words, they are brainwashed.
