3). Through links we can see that demonstration against russian occupation were crowded and there a lot of them in first months. And now, after russians started to kidnap and kill people (typical "liberators") resistanse became more radical. From demonstrations, to the armed covert ops. Kherson partisans exterminated a lot of russian collaborators, like
extermination of Sekhey Tomko or explosion of
Dmitry SavluchenkoThe same story in Melitopol. Energodar, and many other occupied cities.
how Ukrainians meet Russian soldiers:
1,
2First video - four grannies and one old man. Second video - one woman. 6 people in sum. Yep, looks like true story.
But interesting moment: population of cities under occupation decreased a lot. For example, in Severodonetsk, was around 100k of citizens. And after "denazification" - only 10-20. All other run away (to Ukraine in most, i have few friends from this city) or died.
So,
even if all who stay in the city would welcome russian, this would be only 10-20 % of city population before the war.
