“Putin wants a war with Ukraine. The biggest and most successful lie from the Kremlin’s propaganda is that most Russians stand behind Putin “, she writes.

– Is afraid

Among those who have raised their voices a number of times is TV profile and former presidential candidate Ksenia Sobchak (40). She is the daughter of the first democratically elected mayor of St. Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak, and there have long been rumors that Putin is her godfather.

Nevertheless, she has been loudly opposed to the invasion of Ukraine.

“The world is on the brink of disaster. I remember writing a letter to Reagan in 1988 in which I wrote “Dear President. We do not want war because I’m afraid of nuclear war. Now I am an adult, but I am afraid of the same thing “, she writes, and continues:

“Global geopolitical interests can not be more important than the peaceful lives of millions of people.”
