Spoke to my brother yesterday who lives there and there’s not amongst the people he sees -so not sure if it’s correct .
Loads is probably an exaggeration but there has been high profile support of Russia/Putin. Almost certainly not widespread amongst ordinary folk though.

Regarding Ukraine ?
All I’ve seen is protests against it ( only seen limited stuff to be fair )
Think even Trump retracted his glowing words about Putin after the attacks
 
The fact that Poland, Hungary etc have been putting up fences to keep out refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Sudan etc but are welcoming refugees from Ukraine with open arms does show that they have been treating refugees from different countries unequally. Whether they still are now, who knows.
Is it not through the chance quite a few are the hidden enemy?
 
Yeah, I wouldn’t have expected you to marra. Sorry, it wasn’t meant in a ‘you’re wrong’ way.
No -if it gives balance no problem
He’s lucky he lives in a country that allows him to have a platform of free speech

I'm the most worried about China, who knows what's happening behind the scenes? They have interests in Ukraine.


Two Chinese stateowned firms will take over Ukrainian land in the eastern Dniepropetrovsk region and use it to grow crops (and raise pigs) for use back in China. The deal will initially hand over 100,000 hectares of farmland, increasing to three million over 50 years. That’s an area the size of Belgium, and constitutes five percent of Ukraine’s land mass. And in farming terms, it’s 56 percent of Ukraine’s arable land.
