Maybe you wanted to say putin. Ukrainians are with Zelenskiy and he's with his people.
The east of his country isn’t and he has no control over the army. Putin’s support increased during the war.
Putin support increased so much that civilians were actively supporting a coup against him, nice
You consider Wagner ‘civilians’?
No, but civilians were bringing food and water to Wagner mercenaries.
Russians love so much Putin that when they oppose him they get Novchok-ed or threw out of windows, they love him so much that their fiercest criticism to him is "I don't follow politics"
But the Wagner mercenaries in Ukraine say that they don’t support Prigozhin’s coup attempt
Only oligarchs get that treatment, a far cry from the US. And the Communist Party is the 2nd biggest party in Russia, and the most critical of United Russia & Putin.
