It seems 90% of people here support Russia's aggression.

I don't think it's a matter of people supporting aggression, I think it's more a matter of media bullshitting and propaganda
coming from both sides. Here is the problem for me...
I keep hearing how many Russian soldiers killed, how many civilians killed, but I have not read on any news site here how many UA soldiers were killed. Our media is spun in a way to make it sound like Russia is getting it's ass handed to them, which I find a bit hard to believe.
Photos and videos of captured Russian soldiers that may be Ukrainian for all we know (or maybe they are captured Russians), and it's mostly young guys that look like they were picked up while plowing a field in some Siberian village.
I keep reading how Russians are killing many civilians, but if the civilians are getting guns then are they counting those deaths as civilians or combatants?
I keep reading how Russia is indiscriminately bombing civilian targets and apartment blocks, yet there are only 351 civilians dead? Giving the amount of bombing and fighting in urban areas that are not completely evacuated (since only 1,5 million people left that country so far out of 44 mil population) - that does actually sound like they are avoiding hitting infrastructure or civilian deaths. There is still power and internet pretty much everywhere. You can view webcams in most of the cities.
Now on the other side you have videos coming out of Russia saying the UA people are greeting them as saviors, you have weird (possibly green-screen) video of Putin with flight attendants for some reason, etc.
Now, I am not supportive of Putin by any means but you cannot really be surprised that people start to wonder if something is up when so much of what you hear is so manipulated. I honestly cannot even form an opinion on this topic anymore because I cannot believe a word the news says.
In other news, 922k refugees in Poland alone so far. We'll probably break a million today or tomorrow.
