Don't get me wrong, russians are absolutely to blame, even the most liberal, for they differ from putin only in their methods, not in their goal. All russians, with extremely rare exceptions, still see Ukraine as ontologically and spiritually part of russia. But it's not why we're fighting them. It's not some kind of punishment or revenge. We're fighting to survive and to not become like them.
