You're reading: Russians Voice Range of Arguments to Justify War on Ukraine

Peter Shmigs in The Spectator Australia online magazine has analyzed arguments used by the majority of Russians to justify their views on Russia’s war in Ukraine. They range from the fatalistic “There’s nothing I can do” and “I’m not political,” to so-called “zombie views” produced by the Kremlin’s narrative.   

He concludes by saying that “many of their views about their war on Ukraine span a narrow range from intellectually dishonest to morally bankrupt.”
