I just hope we don’t see a vendetta against Russians in Britain.
It’s not their war and not their fault.

There are reports now of quite widespread desertions among Russian troops including in the so-called “40-mile convoy” north of Kyiv which some units disabling their weaponry.
And an intriguing report that a Russian naval vessel off Odesa mutinied (or putinied as The Sun puts it) when ordered to attack the beach.
Maybe they were offended by the bad language coming from there.
