The Ukrainians I spoke to are pissed but not in the “Damnit Putin” sense but in the “I am angry we can’t be left alone & that NATO & Putin didn’t work this out.”
The general sentiment was even the ones that don’t like Putin are saying “he wasn’t really given a choice. They let Azov off the leash & NATO is too complicit to do anything”
What nobody seems to agree on / know is whether the intent was to openly leave Azov off the leash or what. They are genuinely freaked out that Azov is supposedly performing DNA tests for extermination or at least that’s a rumor that unsettles them.
Correct.
