Russian explains why Ukraine should not cede territory

In this video, we talk with Alexey, a 47-year-old Russian citizen, who shares his perspective on current events and political issues related to the war between Russia and Ukraine. Alexey explains why he believes Ukraine should not cede any territory and comments on the reasons why Russia was not invited to the 2024 peace summit in Switzerland.
We discuss the possibility of a ceasefire under Putin's conditions and whether Alexey thinks this is feasible or absurd. He also shares his views on the conditions under which the war should be stopped and his overall thoughts on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Additionally, Alexey provides his opinion on the relationship between Russia and China and the potential accession of Ukraine to NATO. Finally, he discusses why he believes most Russians support the military operation, according to recent polls.
Join us to hear what ordinary Russians think about the current situation and the solutions they envision for resolving the conflict.
