Russians supporting the illegal war against Ukraine are Putin and his kremlin lackeys. The Russian people have a responsibility to find the truth. As the adage goes, "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The Russian people have a responsibility to themselves, to Ukrainians and the world to do there due diligence and find out the facts of what is really happening. Failure to do so is on them and no one else. To their credit though, there are cracks in Russian state propaganda, mostly from very angry Russian military social media outlets. So there's hope, but still the reality of this war being exposed to all Russians is moving painfully slow.

With approval for Putin hovering around 70% and a majority of Russians still wearing their "Z" logo proudly, there are likely millions of Russians still supporting this war. So sadly, they are not doing their due diligence. Even so, saying they are not culpable of the crimes being committed due to propaganda sounds eerily similar to war criminals who attempt to defend themselves by saying they were "just following orders."
