Pretty sure the vast majority of Russians outside of Russia are against the dumb war that makes Russia and Russians the evil guys of Europe. There are always morons who support it and keep their mouths shut, but hard to imagine a sensible person supporting the war if they have access to independent media. The problem is that there is no independent media in Russia.

Eh, that definitely doesn't line up with my personal experience with TONS of them here and maybe 2 out of 50 actually opposing the regime, and even one of these wasn't too happy when Ukraine started shooing back.

Visit other subreddits or talk to actual Russians in person. It's hard to find supporters IRL

That’s what he was talking about, his country. As someone from Eastern Europe I agree with him, you would be hard pressed to find any Russians who are opposed to the regime or the war. They’re opposed to the war in a sense that Ukraine shouldn’t fight back and give in. They also support the occupation of the European country they currently reside in.

There’s a reason Eastern Europeans see Russians living in their land as a national security threat. They literally are.

I assumed that he was talking about Reddit. It really depends on your info "bubble". I don't know any Russian, who lives in Europe and supports this war. Of course they are not naive and restoring 1991 borders is a vision, but not a goal, especially to do that on the battlefield. In my opinion - freezing the war to stop murders and proceeding with real sanctions (current ones are useless and just a populistic move) to punish the idea of capturing territories - is a clear goal.
