Many people in Russia have Ukrainian surnames for obvious reasons of proximity, which is why so many Russians are against this invasion.

I think any individual passionate about morality and chess can follow https://twitter.com/Kasparov63 https://twitter.com/Kasparov63 and learn how someone deeply impacted by this situation feels about it.
