We are allowed to listen to what Putin and the Russians have to say and what the West has to say. We can see on tv what is happening to towns and cities and people in Ukraine.
Why aren't the Russian people allowed to do the same? Then they can make their own mind up if Putin is to be trusted or it's the evil West to blame.
You are always suspicious when any free speech or view is dealt with by being arrested and locked up.
There are Russian speaking people in Latvia, Estonia etc. Will that be a reason for Putin to ''liberate'' them too?
