normal Russian people, even some of them scared, still most said they don't want war, and they want peace

It amazes me how the Russians don't understand what is about to happen to their economy next week once Swift will be cut off. NATO, EU and other countries have wiped out a whole nation and they only basically will exist on the map. Globally, Russia has been set back to stone age. Not even North Korea got so much sanctions as Russia.
Some Russians are already migrating to Finland on a mass reported by Finnish news media.
Good thing. They all are against the war except some.

these are the hardest sanctions ever I think, and it's due to numerous reasons:
a) the location, this being Europe these are economically powerful countries that can shoulder hard sanctions for a while and this is a war right next to them which results in a strong emotional response
b) the repeat offender aspect, Putin already moved his troops to Crimea and parts of Georgia previously and everytime people essentially "let him" on the grounds that this would be all, and clearly by now everyone knows the expansion will progress - for example if Ukraine is entirely defeated, realistically Moldova/Georgia are next, so I see people comparing the current situation to Hitler in the 30s where inititally people tried to appease him too by letting him have this and that and it obviously led nowhere good, so there's a lot of historical trauma too
c) Zelensky's media campaign and the civil resistance, if he and his government had fled it's unlikely anthing would have been done. Sanctions, sure, "please stop annexing countries", sure, but the fact that this is a president of a European country desperately asking for help and making clear that their country is under attack and trying their hardest makes it harder to justify not doing anything
