Maybe Russian people are NOT on Putin's side. BBC reports major Russian lies to Russian people

https://www.bbc.com/news/60292915

If Pootin had Russian peoples support he shouldn't have to lie like this

In recent weeks, some Russian state media outlets have featured misleading headlines about international support for Ukraine based solely on user comments on Western media sites.

One article published on the website of the state news agency RIA Novosti in late January claimed that "British" readers of the Daily Express supported the view that Ukraine should not be defended because Russia had a stronger military presence in the region than Nato.

Another suggested that readers laughed at Ukraine's military potential.
