Seeing these sort of posts that implicitly suggest that Russians somehow are unaware of the war in Ukraine is ridiculous.<p>Everyone in Russia knows. People in Russia have been in a state of panic since the day the invasion began. They know what&#x27;s going on. The government isn&#x27;t really hiding it.<p>If anything, Westerners have been more propagandized about the conflict than Russians. Sure, there is a significant segment of Russia that has fully bought into Putin&#x27;s propaganda -- But nearly every westerner has bought into the West&#x27;s propaganda.<p>If you can&#x27;t place Ukraine on a map, you do not have an informed opinion. If you haven&#x27;t heard &quot;Donbass&quot; earlier than a week ago, you are not informed. If you weren&#x27;t aware of the 2014 coup in Ukraine, you are not informed.<p>Please stop pretending to be enlightened. If someone wholeheartedly believes Putin, your little banner won&#x27;t change their mind.<p>Side-note: the Russian text is awful. It roughly translates to:<p>&gt; The continuous war against your Ukrainian brothers has carried away many victims.<p>&gt; The truth is being obscured from you your government (yes, the grammar is wrong)<p>&gt; Please, spread information<p>What is your goal here?
