The Kremlin considers it an "absolutely indisputable fact" that the vast majority of Russians support Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine, while the opinion of the "minority" remains in parentheses.
Source: Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary for the Russian President, in a conversation with the media, quoted by Meduza
Quote: "The vast majority of citizens, more than 75%, support the operation and support the actions of the President of Russia. This is an absolutely indisputable fact.
You see, there is a very active explanation of the goals and objectives of this operation, the reasons for this operation, and we hope that those who disagree will understand what is happening."
Details: According to Peskov, Russians who disagree are "being explained the purpose and causes of military activities."
When Peskov was asked whether the Kremlin hears the views of the tens of millions of Russians who are against the war, Peskov said: "Their opinion is being heard. But nevertheless, a minority is a minority."
Background: On the night of February 24 2022, the Russian Federation insidiously attacked Ukraine from the territory of Belarus and began to move troops over the border in several directions. Putin called it a "special operation" with the ultimate goal falsely described by the Russian leadership as "L/DPR assistance" and then as "liberation of Ukraine from (unknown) Nazis." Later, the Russian Federation spread "horror stories" about "ethnically-oriented biological weapons" and even "nuclear weapons".
Russia is violating the rules of war by shelling civilian infrastructure and civilians in Ukraine.
