I am getting downvoted to hell for this - but: this women was celebrating the annexation of crimea, the imperialist-expansion goals of Moscow, the attacks on Georgia, the destabilization of Belarus and the occupation of the donbas area. For many, many years and very vocal. So excuse me that i do not believe her sudden change of mind after being an active force in a violent political campaign over many years. Just being in the Opposition of Putin does not mean that you're not not giving a shit about neighboring countries' freedom and basic human rights.

I do not know her motivation in this very moment and i do not see enough reason to even remotely trust her. What i do know is the drastic damage she's done by continuously spreading hatred over the last years. This person has done significant harm to Ukraine and to the success of Anti-Ukraine-propaganda over many years. She is everything but a friend of Ukraine. She might not like the war. But she sure as hell gave a shit about Ukraine for a long long time.

I think this is an important viewpoint. I also think that considering the context of such insane amounts of propaganda and Russian nationalism there is - it’s always possible she is just now beginning to fully grasp the situation. Doesn’t mean she’s absolved or even that her opinions or feelings on certain things have changed. But in my opinion, Growth is the goal. And it may be a pivot For personal gain/ survival / whatever. But I would hope more people are able to change Be their minds especially in such extreme circumstances.
