Russians Are Finally Feeling the War - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦 [View all]

[2naSalit]

The war is no longer something many Russians can ignore. In this video, we examine reactions from Moscow residents, Crimean residents, Russian propagandists, and Russian military bloggers as Ukraine's strikes increasingly disrupt life inside Russia and occupied Crimea. Some Russians express fear, confusion, and frustration. Others question why they were not warned. Kremlin voices are working overtime to explain away the attacks, while Russian commentators struggle to maintain the narrative that everything is under control.

As refinery fires burn, airports face disruptions, and concerns spread across Russian social media, a larger question emerges: what happens when a population that was told victory was inevitable begins to realize the war is affecting them directly?
