The Russian people? In 1996 they had a say and elected the Communist Party in the presidential election, which was then fixed for Yeltsin with the approval of the West, which then led to Putin, which ultimately led to today.
Millions of Russians do support Putin, vote for him, support this war and think Ukraine is Russia, some on this forum, and millions don't. It's unfair to blame people for 'voting' for something in a country where elections are simply fixed though, and if ordinary Russians should be punished over this, why weren't ordinary Americans and citizens of other countries punished over Iraq? Of course nobody was, not even the people who carried out the invasion.
