Who ever said that the Russians can simply put their guns down and walk away. It’s not a democracy, no free choice. Their families if not shot, would go to labour camps or if they are lucky prison, a Russian prison is one your not likely to get out of . Conscription is coming in there soon. Putin has stopped any news or tv programmes from outside world he has isolated them, they are victims like the Ukraines are. He’s had all protesters taken off the streets and sent to labour camps, for speaking the truth, imagine what would happen to a soldier. They won’t have enough food soon either. They will need aid.
