Fair enough. And an anecdote. Harrisonburg has a large Ukrainian


population who were immigrant Christians sponsored by local churches post fall of the Berlin Wall. My mom and pop phone repair store was run by some form of Slav. About a year ago, not long after the Russian invasion, i was in getting a new battery installed or something. I asked the owner if they were Ukrainian. He squirmed a bit before informing me that he was Russian. Then he quickly added that they were decidedly NOT in favor of the recent Putin aggression. I have former students who were part of the first post Cold War Ukrainian wave.

And I agree it's wise to be cautious around these videos even though I think Putin is a fucking barbarian whose slip from a 10th story window would benefit all humankind.
