If you look at Putin's history, I definitely don't think that's true of him. He doesn't seem like the kind of man who changes himself for anybody😅

And also, given the incredibly brave protests taking place in Russia opposing the war, even though they know that there's a high risk they'll be arrested and severely punished, I think it' fair to say that those Russains who can see past the misinformation absolutely don't want this war.

I think Putin just has such a sranglehold on the Russian people and the information they receive that many don't know what's going on and many who do don't dare to say anything.
