not Russian citizens, who are mostly innocent victims"

Yeah that's a bit of a stretch... Even if let's say.. 40% of the population opped the war it would be over. The vast majority support Putin, the citizens are just as guilty

There is a vast gulf between "oppose the war" and "brave enough to be executed and your family conscripted".

This. People tend to forget that in Russia, the rules of pretty much the ex-Soviet Union apply. You speak ill/stand up against the interests of the state, you still get fucked beyond belief, and your family, too.

It's not just as simple as "you either oppose it and stand up against it, or you are for it".
