Putin disrespectful to Russian citizens, he is an absolute failure; he is losing. Hasn't a faithful true friend because he is turning them all against himself.
Quitrestricting free speech!

Better not go and stay in Finland, which is not a NATO member but will probably try to join, because it is the next target, after Ukraine, before it can join NATO. Logically, Finland is next because it's basically in a similar situation as Ukraine – shares a border, not a NATO member, and shows interest in joining NATO.
Why on earth do they stay. Get out before they stop you from getting out. I would never live in a country under dictatorship.
Rats are running!
Russian known loves to attacking other countries 🙄 and enjoy to destroying bad habits get out from Russian survival life best 👌 👍 😍 🥰
How come all Arab people and Nigeria the are quite now, I think we have to send them to Russia let them live there..
The people leaving are probably educated profesional with a higher standard of living. This will leave Putin with the kind of people that are impressed with seeing him play hockey.
Is the Kremlin going to lock his whole country up, why won't his daughters say anything to stop that crazy old fool with parkinson's.
Wow, Russia is blocking Facebook and instagram like instagram and Facebook block people that don’t follow their narrative. Shocker
Let Russians leave, let the brain drain collapse Russia
Both the Russian and Ukranian people want this senseless war to stop. I hope they all can stand united and overthrow Putin and his supporters and just end this war.
Putin you give freedom to Russians its their natural rights given by God.Tell the Truth to your people and the Truth will set you free.
Those people who are instrumental and applying this POOTIN'S Laws should be held accountable from the leadership to the lowest rank(police). And be prosecuted.
Interesting, did I miss the group of Ukrainians in the BLM marches… maybe I had been looking at a different network. But I don't recall seeing it, I saw it in France, UK, Germany, and Thailand …
Thanks to Putin Russians have Shame and Guilt because of his action.
In the end the truth will be a horrible reality for the Russian people. What will happen than?
@ 2:38 I thought it was Arnold Schwarzenegger talking when I first heard.
Russians are moving to what? To Europe? Most Russians live in Europe already. Why? Because the western part of Russia, where most of the Russian population is located, is part of Europe. SMH!
Don't these Russians know they're a communistic country with a dictator?
They see it. I don’t blame them I be leaving too
it's not the Russian's fault, it a fault of a monster named putin
putin must be already dead
IT is not dangerous in Russia. I left usa and england to be in Russia. People who are leaving Russia are traitors… sadly.
They need to bury Putin under the jail.
No one is to be blame but those selfish leaders. .I know how Russians feels about what's happening in Ukraine but they are afraid because they do not have freedom of speech they cannot even protect themselves ..if so they will be put in jail young or old alike….so that is the reason why they are leaving russia. .worst is yet to come..Praying for all the innocent russian people and Freedom and Peace for Ukraine
So Orwellian….Unfortunately a lot of the world operates on these principles still to this day. This is nothing we should pass on to future generations. Fascism, Totalitarianism, Oligarchies, what ever you want to call them should go find a quiet place and die for the benefit of the people who just want to live a Peaceful life without WAR
Russia gonna be came like North Korea. Russian soldier turn you weapon and pointed to Putin he don’t care about you and your family Russian people don’t believe Putin he is a dictator he have money he can scape to china or North Korea and live like a 🤴Putin don’t care about anybody only himself and his family
Same thing like north korea
Spread misinformation is criminal!! L o L coming from a horse mouth!!

Facebooks policy doesnt even make any sense, like why involve yourself in such a manner when all other tech companies are minding their business… facebook thinks its a government or something.
