It was said that the troops were unaware they had been sent there to actually kill Ukrainians. Is it possible they were unaware of that? Why would they think they were there if it wasn't to do just that?
In a lot of the reading I've done the past few days I have seen it said that many, if not most, Russians feel a kinship to Ukraine, some of them were born there, some have family there, some grew up there & some are in love with a person who is Ukrainian. I suppose that could explain why they hesitate to slaughter Ukrainians.
That's war propaganda, nothing more. And no doubt the Russians are doing the same sort of reporting in their nation. The only thing that would be reliable right now would be civilian reporting, which is much harder to access these days thanks to the censorship of "misinformation".
