For nearly two weeks, Ukrainian forces have been seizing and occupying Russian territory in the Kursk region.
It marks the first time since World War Two that a foreign army has been fighting inside Russia – and for many Russian people, it is cause for alarm.
Repeating the official messaging of the state media, some Russians call for “peace on Russia’s terms”, while others expressed hope that Moscow and Kyiv will sit down at the negotiating table and work out a way to end the conflict.
But, while the Kremlin is still calling what its troops are doing in Ukraine a “special military operation”, ordinary Russians use one simple word to describe all of this: “war”.

This are brainwashed russians
Les russes n’aiment pas la France ? Tant mieux! Nous en avons autant à leur service. Les russes sont des cloportes nuisibles , à l’instar de leur maître, vlad poutine , saboteur de sous marin nucléaire russe , souvenez vous de ce qu’il a fait au koursk dont l’équipage gît depuis longtemps au fond de la baltique après que le maître du kremlin les ait sacrifiés, ce qu’il ne va pas tarder à réitérer avec l’oblast de Koursk.
Je vous plains de tout cœur. René

Bien que j’avance dans la vallée de l’ombre de la mort , je ne redoute point les attaques du mal …… car je suis le plus vicieux des enfants de putains de toute la vallée.
They can go fk themselves.
Someone about the piano music …thank you
They are playing Kukuschka by Kino at 4:19 and I thought Zois songs where prohibited or at least seen as a form of anti war protest, after the song "Peremen" was used by protesters in the early days of the war? Anyone got some more information about that?
2:29 she got brainwashed so hard💀💀💀💀💀💀
I am disappointed I did not heard the phrase “the collective West”. Did these people indeed stop watching Russian TV? Solovev, my man, step up your game!
The Russian(and before that soviet) system based on terror and propaganda has created a degenerate and vicious society that cannot produce anything positive. Truly nation of orcs lead by their God Sauron. You can clearly see how over 70 years of communism affect society. “why is this happening with us?” They will never admit their guilt of starting this war nor they ever abandon their King. Stultification of this society has progressed so far that without external intervention these people will always remain at the level of the orcs from Tolkien's novels.
they dream about peace and the war not to come to Russia but outside of their territory they can do whatever they want and break the peace of another countries…
Does that first woman really not know “why is this happening to us”? Her leader has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainians ffs.
This is what Trump is trying to turn America into.
A nation of scared people.
💩 reporting
All zombies saying the same thing: I trust in the army I am not interested in politics …. North Korea speaking Cyrillic
Lovely people (I married one) but good god, they’re a bunch of NPSs
Apparently the Russian armed forces are now third best is Russia! Who new!
We can draw our own conclusions, thanks
You people need to wake up..your leader started this
Люди в комментариях серьезно думают что это правда🙄 это же точно не пропагандистский канал, точно. Почему BBC не берут интервью в йемене, ираке, сербии? Пока сша бомдила африку и ближний восток все молчали, а когда Россия освобождала лднр, все начали говорить какая Россия плохая и снимать пропагандистские видео.
Немцы в 1942 году: "Главное, чтобы не было войны" 🤣
Russians are aware on how the Ukranians cause suffering to Rusian speaking eastern Ukranians. and how the west media changed the narrative.
Get out of Ukraine, both Russia and the West…..its that simple
Hoping for Peace yet PRAISING Putin at the same Time…
How "Mindf*cked" can a single Person be!? 😑
Steve Rosenberg is very brave as a westerner reporting about the war from inside Russia. This man is a hero. Respect.
Praising Putin because she doesn't want to fall out of a window.
If Trump wins election in America we will not support Ukraine in the war with Russia any more. No more money and no more American weapons for the Ukraine. It is Europe's business and not ours.
Biedny ruSSki naród.
These Russians drank the Kool Aid regarding Putin.
Wow, the Russian people are stupid. Say it is because of the propaganda all you want, these people are still about as clueless and stupid as anyone can be.
Erm leaving your borders “open” to a country you invaded isn’t a logical progression unless Putin is calculating to encapsulate donbas into their lines. Thinning Ukrainian military maybe Putin even knew they may been planning to invade Kursk Oblast so Putin allowed to his advantage. He claims by October 1st all Ukrainian forces will be destroyed.
Man they been lied to and just dont know the truth Russia will fall
Its simple. NATO goes homes and no nukes on Russias border and the war is over. NATO is a money making war industry. This seems obvious. Zelenskys Ukraine will not come to peace talks whilst he lives in luxury.
They don't even know that they started the war. Putin trying his best to emulate Hitler.
Such a tragedy. Putin has destroyed his country's economy and population demographics so completely that it'll take generations to recover. Yet the Russian people are praising him for it.
only russians can live in delusion and still be that miserable.
If the Russians don't want the war to come to their homes, get out of the war. So simple.
Putin is a war criminal. Jail him for life as soon as he leaves Russia. Free Ukraine!
😢💔🇺🇦
No doubt, ruSSia is the state from Orwell's 1984 novell.
When telling the truth can lead to imprisonment and/or death you are not going to get truthful answers from people on the street!
Wow she must be so scared to talk because…..the….BBC are………allowed to film? in…Russia?
If she had a gun to her head I am sure this "journalist" would let you all know.
A lot of very racist people on here with regard to how you talk about Russians?
This is probably how dementia of the whole country looks like. Like you would hold your hand on a hot stove, hoping that it will help to ease your pain.
A good episode, the conclusion is wrong.
the russians who do get it have left. The ones who stayed are too dumb or too afraid to think, so they trust their leader unconditionally. Sad stuff.
This BBC journalist is either extremely brave or equally crazy.. Being in Russia as a journalist from the country Russia considers hostile (Great Britain), is freaking crazy.. Especially after we've seen what happened to that Wall Street Journal guy that was arrested, trialed and sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for being a spy. Thankfully he was recently exchanged for the Russian agents and spies that were arrested in the Western countries…
Stay safe dude, and leave that shithole…
You cant say nothing wrong abouth Putin i remember in ex Jugoslavia you cant speak against Tito too i read a book it was honour to live with Tito at the funeral was Caucescu Idi Amin Sadam Husein nice people😂😂😂😂😂
I see there's still some Kool-Aid left that the Russians can drink up… No water, no electricity, no money and no indoor plumbing, but the sweet sweet smell of propaganda, mixed with an indoctrination, keep the Russians deluded…
For a long time I had sympathy for the common Russians, but that went away after watching a few videos where the Ukrainian journalist Zotkin talks to POWs and their families over a phone… When these family members are asked why do they support the war and the killing of innocent Ukrainians these wives, mothers, fathers and brothers of the captured Russian soldiers get cocky and rude, while their loved ones are 3 feet away from the Ukrainian soldiers..
They have no empathy and they still, after 2,5 years, support Putin and their invasion of Ukraine.. I have no tears for Russian civilians, I've spent all of them watching the terrible things tat the Russian military has done to Ukrainian civilians, soldiers, villages and cities..
There would not be a single word said against Putin by a Russian citizen on foreign (or national for that matter) TV.
Doesn't this journalist afraid to be arrested in russia and wait in jail for the next exchange?
