Every time russia has shaped the information space for offensive actions they've employed the line that there is no ukraine. There are no ukranians. Russian soldiers report genuine belief in having lost to us forces on russian social media. The prison conscripts choice is in fighting and maybe living againsst ukranians or certainly dying for refusing to follow orders. I think that sharing in that megalomanics vision is something that has to be acknowledged to understand both why they have it so bad as soldiers in ukraine, and why they behave so badly while soldiers in ukraine.
If there are no Ukrainians, and no Ukraine, who precisely are Russians killing and raping in Ukraine? Their own paisanos? Ain't propaganda great? /s
