'ichkeria: "The National Guard of Ukraine issued a list last week,"
I doubt the Russians are labeling their vehicles according to Ukraine desires.
Z is for Zapad, Russian word for West, and V is for Vostok, Russian word for East.
naomi:" Reports from reliable sources telling us "
Now, there's the rub.

I don't think the links prove that the war the Ukraine doesn't have have popular support in Russia.

' The media clampdown means that many are unaware of the full scale of what is happening there, and see developments from a very different perspective.'
I think that's the bigger problem - Russia is blocking access to international news media and social media and Putin popularity is remaining relatively stable (and high).

Not blocking the internet but certain users and organiusations.
A hopeful sign is that the FSB is not happy: the Times reports a whistleblower as admitting Russian casualties indeed may be 10,000 already (several columns were knocked out this morning)
They weren't told in advance of the war, and it was also reported that elements in that organisation had thwarted attempts on Zelensky's life.

The invasion has popular support in Russia possibly because of a new and social media blackout and possibly because Russians see the Ukraine and former Slavic nations as being part of Russia.
If Russians think that NATO presence on their doorstep is a genuine threat then they'd think the war is justified.
The numbers fleeing the country do prove that there are some that know what's going on an don't approve but that still doesn't mean that Putin's actions don't have popular support.
The Russian population is just shy of 150,000,000. There would have to be a significant number of protesters/emigrants to prove that the war did not have popular support.

Just to repeat:
The Russian public largely either don’t know what Putin’s actual actions are, or are protesting in their thousands and being arrested or are against but understandably not wanting to risk arrest.
The numbers who know what is going on AND support this are vanishingly small I’d say.
Hence the crackdown at home
