The illusion of good Russians: why their support is unlikely Ukraine in Flames #655

By insidiously launching a genocidal war against Ukraine, Putin and his Kremlin gang have finally established Russia's status as an enemy of humanity. We hope that the International Criminal Court's warrant for Putin's arrest is only the beginning of worldwide legal and political recognition of this status. However, it would be dangerously naive to blame only the head of the Russian half-empire and his closest entourage for all the horrors of this war. Crimes against humanity and genocide against the people of Ukraine are committed by thousands of ordinary Russians. They have come to our land to kill, torture, rape, and steal. Watch Ukraine in Flames #655 to find out about 'good Russians'—do they exist, how can they become allies for Ukrainians, and can we rely on their support in dismantling the war-mongering Russian Federation?
