Just remember, Putin has had several assassination attempts, but failed due to either one of the people involved getting torture to damn near death and squealing out, or because they bugged and tracked everything. It does sadden me seeing shit like this, but also the fact that there are people in Russia protesting the war makes me have a sliver string of hope. Since Eastern Europeans/Slavs fight till the end no matter the cost.
(Also, I am really happy no one has bashed me for being Russian since that is common now for me on other sites)
