Russian opposition leader Volodymyr Kara-Murza advocated easing sanctions against Russia because they target ordinary citizens.

Russian opposition politician and journalist Volodymyr Kara-Murza, released as part of the Russian Federation-USA prisoner exchange, once again called on the West to carefully approach the introduction of sanctions against Moscow, writes The Times . Although he had previously been criticized by Ukraine for this position.

“I have never called for the lifting of sanctions. But they should be aimed at Putin’s war machine and Putin’s war economy and make it difficult or, ideally, impossible for it to continue this murderous war of aggression against Ukraine,” he told the publication.

The oppositionist added that the complete ban on the entry of Russians to Lithuania and the Czech Republic is “discrimination and a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights.”

“[The West] should not treat all 140 million Russians as war criminals, because they clearly are not,” Kara-Murza said.

The mass media writes that, according to him, Putin’s regime must fall sooner or later, it will happen suddenly, like any other political changes in Russia.

“This time we will need a real understanding, a real moral cleansing, including bringing to justice those who committed war crimes in Ukraine. It will be necessary to do everything so that this evil never returns,” Kara-Murza added.

I’m a supporter of VKM, but this is wrong. All ruZZians must be squeezed to fuck; until there is starvation and riots.

“The West should not treat all 140 million Russians as war criminals, because they clearly are not,” Kara-Murza said.”

But they are VKM, they fucking are. And they must suffer.
He is a longstanding friend of Brian Whitmore and I’m sure he will be on the show soon and challenged on these very wrong views.

All russians have to feel the pain that Ukrainians are going through. 80% support the slaughter of Ukrainians and the destruction of Ukrainian cities, so they should suffer 3-fold.
