''Before invasion'' - I'll just remind that everything started not on 24th February, but 8 years ago when Russia occupied Crimea and invaded Luhanks and Donbas. So, it's nothing strange that during these years there were no warm feelings towards Russia in Ukraine and it's understandable.
Meanwhile Putin today said that he has
"barely started" in Ukraine and wants to fight "the West".
Barely started, but during this ''special operation'' their losses is at least 2x bigger than during Afghan war. He is really out of reality.
