people, the ordinary folk , think they are fighting the Ukrainians for, as they are supposedly all the same nationality? Their sons, brothers and fathers are all being killed and they must questioning why?
I think many are indoctrinated & still fearful of Nazi-ism. The ones who are independent thinkers and/or have access to "real" news must be thoroughly ashamed.
well many of them have been brainwashed by propaganda. the Youngsters will probably be more aware of what's happening and wondering why nothing works any more.
For many Russians, the fact they may regard Ukrainians as similar in some way just makes them hate Ukrainians all the more for “deserting” them.
Look what is happening now: by some estimates half a million Ukrainians ha e been forcefully abducted to Russia.
Stripped of their identities and many children shipped to Russian orphanages.
I had a dealing with a Russian orphanage once: they were keen to dispatch kids out of there for their own good (!)

Ethnic cleansing on an epic scale
As I understand it, they are told that they are liberating a nation from a corrupt Nazi government who are committing genocide on Russians there, and breaking an old agreement not to seek protection from the hostile autocracy next door to them.

'Russia denied any involvement in the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, which went down on July 17, 2014 killing all 298 aboard, two-thirds of whom were Dutch.
However, Dutch investigators have concluded that the Boeing 777 was hit by a surface-to-air missile supplied to pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine. A similar conclusion is widely accepted by Western intelligence.'

Try catching the Brexit bus, just for starters. And don't waffle on in your usual diversionary fashion about whether he wrote those slogans or not, he campaigned using them as his policies.
