I am firmly on Team Ukraine in this battle but on the Russian side, it's not hard to see how things and information get's really murky.
We have the benefit of the media and more open and honest government telling us the situation on the ground, thus we are for the most part supporting getting Russia out of Ukraine!
Russian soldiers are being told their own stories. "Your protecting Russia! They have weapons that can hurt the motherland, we are fighting NATO and the West. We need to win in order to protect our family and our children for the future" etc etc.
Some of the information that comes out and some of the propaganda from Russia is reminiscent of the Irag war and the American BS that came out of that.
I guess what I am trying to say is that for a lot of Russian soldiers, they probably feel like they are doing good for Russia in their minds. It would be similar to how a lot of American fighters thought they were doing good in Iraq.
At the end of the day, a handful of men in suits are playing their game and the planet's population is paying the price in a lot of different ways.
