I hate how western news service constantly quote the russian “opposition” and spread fake narrative such as the following:

“Peace is now an almost universal desire in Russian society. There was an upsurge of hope with the entrance of the Trump administration: An end of the war was finally in sight, but this hope did not materialize,” Schulmann said, saying that she believes Russian society took a psychological hit.

This is false and it is backed up preference falsification adjusted research (i.e. you can’t claim that “they are all afraid”).

Schulmann does not even recognize the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Donbas as a war (or a big deal).
