What might work is Russians living in the west with family in Russia, call their family, ask them how they are doing with all the chaos/sanctions/etc. Care about the people there. THEN you can tell them that you've been watching the footage showing Russian convoys are being ambushed and bombed in the roads - that the advance has stalled. That you've seen videos of Russian kids surrendering and dead - Russian losses are much higher than the Russian media is claiming. Ask them if they have any friends and family with men fighting and convey your concern for them. You are trying to convince them of your authenticity and shared values - that is how you influence someone. Then tell them that the Russian generals have become frustrated and started mass bombing of the cities - killing many thousands of civilians. The real villain is Putin and his dogs. Wish them well and pray for them. We are in this together with the majority of the Russian people. You guys should hear the Russian moms calling the Ukrainian helpline crying for any information about their conscripted sons.
