have been fooled by propaganda

Where exactly do you draw the line? Until very recently the whole state had access to outside info. My own country is infested with russians that have had freely available information for decades, yet so many bow down to their czar.

But sure, they're all good people wishing the best for me and ukrainians and all the other peoples russian empire has steamrolled over.

I wouldn’t want an occupier of the EU to become part of it.

Well, majority of the western world that EU is part of is still bowing down to the occupier (and now genocider) that is Israel. So clearly there's room.

They’re right. Russia is not my enemy. The Russian mafia regime is. Putler is. The oligarchs are

My god, disappointing to hear this sentiment from, I presume, the western people still in the year '25. Unless you're a kremlin bot. If so, carry on.
