yet you fail to see why am i asking you if you hold same views about nowaday Russia? in the end isn't it the same KGB in power that ruled USSR for decades? do you expect them all of the sudden to be example of honesty and transparency?
No, the KGB is not ruling Russia. You are living in a delusional fantasy world.
If he is regular West-Ukrainian living in Ukraine, then he might just be brainwashed by the media there. I watched a selection Ukrainian TV for an hour, and, well, Goebbels is an innocent child by comparison. What is happening in MSM in Ukraine can be describes as a full-scale social-control experiment at a state level.
If he is not, then he is an accessory to the atrocities committed in Ukraine though his targeted spreading of disinformation. I am leaning towards the second.
