Posted in: Uniqlo defends decision to stay open in Russia See in context

the whole idea is to hurt the Russian people so they will rise up and protest and put pressure on Putin to stop his warmongering. 

The problem is that by sanctions and all of the restrictions democratic countries making suffer only people, who never supported Putin and protested all the time.

I am Russian and i can see, how mood is changing in Russian SNS. Even people who have will to protest and change something, people, who hate Putin and fighting against the war starting to hate countries that use sanctions.

Unfortunately, you don’t know the situation in Russia. It’s very easy to stay in the safe country, where your rights are respected, and trying to make people in Russia go out and being raped, hurt or killed.

People are protesting every day, but a lot of them having families, kids or spouses, parents and other relatives. Will you risk not just your own life, but also your close people’s in such situation? I highly doubt it.

Closed airspace didn’t leave them any opportunity to at least hide their relatives somewhere.

I hope none of you will experience the same feelings as we do. Being punished by our government for supporting Ukraine, being punished by the whole world for living in Russia.

My relatives living in Ukraine and i can’t reach them from the start of the invasion. It’s my personal tragedy.

We didn’t want this war. We didn’t elect Putin. We protested and were beaten up by police all the time and nobody helped us, but we keep going on the streets, no matter what. What else do you want from us? To die?

Our thoughts are with Ukrainian people.
