How Russians Reacted When We Showed Them Pictures From Ukraine

Many Russians are being fed a daily media diet of Kremlin propaganda that hides the terrible destruction and human cost of their country's invasion of Ukraine. So how did ordinary Russians in Perm and Vladivostok react when Current Time reporters showed them some images?

Love the old lady at the end!

I am no military expert but it seems kind of dumb to send 40 miles of military vehicles up one road

that could get blocked and the ENTIRE convoy stuck. Which has happened. They are saying Ukraine has hit it and I believe they said a downed bridge has blocked it. That area of Ukraine is also about the only place with a crap load of dense forests preventing the convoy from going off road on wide open farmlands covering most of the country. I did hear that everything is thawing and so the ground is super muddy everywhere making it hard for even tanks to go through the mud. They could have split that convoy up 40 times and had 40 separate convoys 1 mile long going in to Ukraine on 40 different roads. Instead they aren't getting really any benefit from that 40 miles of vehicles and they may lose the entire convoy before long.
