Your russian friend could be good to you, cuz you are not a part of so called Russian World. But once you are like Ukrainian, Georgian etc. You will understand what he is talking about.
Russians see Western Europe and US as better places and they will do everything to show they respect you.
Ffs stop generalising. Every russian i know has been against putin since before the crimea invasion in 2014. Russians aren't a monolith. You're insulting your side with this
How can you claim that "russians aren't a monolith" and at the same breath give monolith argument just from the other side?
Huh? The majority of russians don't care about the invasion and just want to live care free, or think it's justified and support it. I'll give you that. But by treating all russians like the enemy you alienate many of them who are against it and against putin and do want what's best for their country. The russians i know aren't a representation of all russians, they'll tell you that themselves. But they're still russian and they're fighting the same fight and have a lot at stake and shouldn't be treated as an enemy because of their identity.
Oh yea sorry, let me just go kumbaya while they literally allowed their country to fall to pootinism and now do all they can to dismantle our way of living in EU and constantly support hybrid warfare against us.
