Do you have a link for that?

Let me see if I can find it again. I read it in the Ukrainian media.

quote:

---

I have several Russian friends who are opposed to this war and fled when the mobilization happened.

My Russian friends are almost exclusively liberals, and I saw the same thing with the liberal men I knew. These were people with skills that could earn a decent living outside of Russia, and had travelled extensively outside of the country.

They don't really speak publicly about their lack of support for obvious reasons

I think there's a social taboo there too.

And what about Russian mobilization.

---

The liberals are such small slice society, from conversations, and from everything I've read and seen, I do believe the war is popular. The Russians haven't done any additional mobilizations since the Fall of 22, and they're just relying on volunteers, while at the same time the army has gotten quite a bit larger. Logically, you couldn't do that if there was broad opposition to the war.
