It is noted that the journalists of the publication visited the occupied territory and did not notice any evidence that the Ukrainian military had looted or attacked civilians.
“The way Ukrainian troops operate in the territory and seem to treat its people reinforces official claims that Ukraine does not see the goal of its offensive as a conquest aimed at long-term annexation, but rather as a negotiating tactic.” “For local forces and many people throughout Ukraine, the invasion is seen as an important tactic to prevent Putin from trying to freeze the war against Ukraine,” the article says.
Russians interviewed in Suja said they had been treated well and were not aware of any residents being killed, but they still wanted their city back under Russian control. Despite the fact that the war was raging very close to the border with Ukraine, they had no idea that it would reach them.
“We didn’t even think about it,” said one of the Russian women.
Another said she wanted Mr. Putin to come to an agreement with Mr. Zelensky because they all wanted to go home and “so that everything would be resolved for good.”
“We want peace and harmony. We want nothing more, we need nothing more. Please help us,” said another Russian woman.
