russia shows how strong she is, and now we can see how truly strong she is, and russia never tells the truth.
ever since the events in 2013 in ukraine and the occupation of crimea, it was clear to me and many others that russia is extremely unstable and should not be trusted. the recent events just solidify that statement. as for ukraine, it only showed how powerful the country and its people are.
it hasn't changed. my stance on the russian government has always been negative.
ukraine is a very strong country with a great president as well. a true leader. when it comes to russia, it has only revealed its evil ambitions. i hope ukraine can push out the invaders one way or another and rebuild its infrastructure. it is a tragedy, and it is happening not far from lithuania. a war for no logical reason at all.
not really, it just shows the massive corruption that russia has.
yes, it did. of course, russia has never been our friend, but to me, that country at this point is below ground level. the way they just attacked their so-called "brothers," the ukrainians, seems inhuman. so i would say that my view of russia has changed in a really bad way, but ukraine has shown what a great brotherly land it is. the way they are standing up for themselves is something incredible. a lot of countries should learn from the ukrainians.
i have always evaluated russian politics critically, but now not just politics, but the whole culture seems inhumane to me. my respect for ukraine and ukrainians has also grown a lot.
no, i have always thought of russia as a corrupt country with little to no people, only brainwashed robots.
yes, because i wanted to learn russian, now i want to learn ukrainian.
yes, it did. i don’t support russia, and i try to avoid contact with businesses that still export their products to russia.
yes, in the way ukraine is resisting and how other countries are helping.
only made my outlook on russia worse.
.
not really, i never liked the russian government.
no, it's the same.
of course it has changed. the war has provided motivation to learn more about ukraine. unfortunately, russia has fallen into the background. i feel no sympathy for that country. our family has already suffered so much from russia—grandparents were deported, uncles were shot. there are still living witnesses of those events, and russia is killing again.
no
man is so full of anger.
no, i don't get involved in other businesses.
no. it is just how i thought it would be. russia started this conflict and is threatening other countries. they want more land even though they have the most land on the planet. that's why it started back in 2014. everything ukrainians are doing is defending themselves and their country.
i never liked russia. i like it even less now. two world wars revealed the russian face. i have relatives who lived through the war and remember the horrors.
no, it did not change. i always knew that russia is capable of starting the war.
yes, it shows that russia is ruled by a dictator who calls himself a president.
no
mostly it has proved to me that the western values are truly hollow - they are ready to fight to the last ukrainian in order to defeat russia. they talk about war crimes, but never mention the illegal wars of the west and its own war crimes (such as iraq). they target russians with sanctions and restrictions, though collective punishment is considered universally wrong. the west has broken all its values during this conflict, among them the right to own property. truly, considering the illegal coup of 2014 in ukraine, they could have just ended the nato expansion. it's big enough already and recent events show that adding new members is a really hard process anyway.
it did not. i have always had a very negative view about russia.
russia has completely lost any shred of confidence in its democracy. ukraine, on the other hand, has shown its true ability to fight back and forced me to take further interest in its history.
no, not really. russians are very proud of their culture; they always have been. history repeats itself; they come to "rescue."
i started to be more sure that ukrainians are really a strong nation and we can do everything we want and everything that people need to make our lives better.
yes, because before the war, russia wasn’t much of a threat to lithuania as it is now.
yes, all russians are bad.
i was never a fan of russia due to the history that lithuania has with it. the war just proved that i had a reason not to be a fan. ukraine was more neutral for me. now, obviously, i have more respect for it. but there are no drastic changes in my opinion.
yes, i now see ukraine as a stronger country and i once again reminded myself how awful russia is.
huge respect and support for ukraine; russia is a terrorist criminal country and they will never prove otherwise.
yes, my opinion is more positive about ukraine's president and the strength of its citizens. and much more negative towards russia, even though it has always been that way.
yes. russia lost a lot of its international reputation and diplomatic status, and that obviously changes my viewpoint on the country. my standpoint on ukrainians changed in the sense that they proved they really care about their country and will not just surrender easily.
i knew russia was an aggressor, but i did not think it was that bad.
russians only see themselves as the "good" guys.
yes, i hate russia.
i didn’t know a lot about ukraine, so it made me want to learn more about this country.
i always knew that russia is not the best place to be (in political matters). so of course my opinion about the country is more negative than ever (not about the culture and people).
yes, it made me realize that i was too naive to believe that russia wouldn't attack other countries.
