many of the older ones don’t know any different J. That won’t change until they pass away. A lot of the younger conscripts in the army as you say, don’t have the benefit of higher education. But don’t forget the country they have invaded isn’t Afghanistan it’s a western leaning developed country. It won’t take long for these kids to figure it out. It will ultimately be the present generation that break Putin.

Part of the problem is that in Russia, most of the leadership don't have the benefit of higher education. Very unlike the west.

When was this filmed I wonder?

He has apparently had a number of assassination attempts thwarted so I’m amazed if he is inviting journalists to meet him and disclosing his whereabouts. Huge risk.

But he is wearing camos so looks recent

I always knew the Ukrainians were a tough bunch, but I’m amazed and, tbh, humbled by their reaction to the invasion. They are just incredible people, it seems they are more than willing to risk death or torture to fight for their country and their fellow Ukrainians. Not just fighting age men, but women, young girls, everyone is putting themselves at great risk to stand up for what’s right.

Everyone who has remained in Ukraine and is sabotaging the Russians is a hero, imo.

Putin, you bastard, you’ve picked on the wrong country…
 
Spring hols next week so they've set up a place for the refugees to kip on the school where the boy plays footy on a Friday - they got the refugee kids having a kick about tonight - raggy arsed rovers getting them gear to wear but class!

Btw from speaking to a few of the mother's we want to hope to hell we are never ever put on that position

I suspect the lads working with you are relatively young and probably not skint.
The problem is a lot of older Russians aren’t tech savvy, and are not well off and, they only listen to Putin’s propaganda and he is hiding the truth from them, and they believe it.

Well a lot of them will remember them in 1968. They have a huge habit of this type of thing.

We have two Russian lads with us at the moment. They know fine well what’s going on. Same as millions of others. This is 2022 not 1936. Putin can’t do what Stalin did. This is a new generation of tech savvy smart people. He can shut down as much social media as he likes but he can’t hide the truth of what he’s done.
